Comments:
A woodcut in black and red on cream Japanese paper in very good condition with two pieces of old mounting tape at the top back of the sheet and a slight bit of adhesive along the front very top margin (see images). Created on Emil Armin's first and very brief visit to Santa Fe in 1928. Discussed and illustrated in Jacobson (1929:127-128, 121). Referencing Jacobson, Emil Armin's first trip to the West was to Santa Fe. Where "he received a cheery welcome from old acquaintances in Santa Fe, and at a party given by Mr. and Mrs. Datus E. Meyers, he met most of the artists of the local colony." Having little money and very little time to waste Armin set about creating art. He returned to Chicago with "more than twenty pieces." This print would have been one example of the twenty-plus art pieces created in a variety of media.
