Stephen Day Reenactment + Mabel Lujan House Broll David Witt, curator at the Harwood Museum reads from a book about Taos artists. Mabel Luhan House B-Roll includes various shots of the exterior of the home and its grounds. Stephen Day Reenactment features an artist in period costume painting an open air landscape. Raw footage shot for the program, "Painting Taos." In the early 20th century, six relatively unknown painters -collectively known as the Taos Society of Artists - helped turn a small mountain village in New Mexico into the premier American art destination. PAINTING TAOS reveals how these young, ambitious artists captured the "vanishing" West for an America on the brink of modernity.
