About the Object
In Germany, from 1922–23, Hartley painted a series of Southwestern landscapes, which become known as his New Mexico Recollections, and include New Mexico Recollection, 1923 (2008.06.01) and New Mexico Recollection #14, c. 1923. which may in fact include references to the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
Additional Information
New Mexico Recollection #12, in the Blanton Museum of Art, is a darker and somewhat sketchier take on the same imagined scene, with two logs in the foreground and a large hill in the middle, with large clouds churning overhead.
