Of Time and Change

A great read from a superb writer who was in the right place at the right time with the right stuff to capture an intimate and entertaining snapshot of some unique characters of the early Taos artist era. He understood, loved and conveys to us some of the beauty, mysticism and history that is part of the mosaic of the Land of Enchantment. His last chapter, "The Four Corners" is a sensitive and insightful capsulization of the effects "Of Time and Change" on the Navajo and Hopi situation in the four corners area.

In this well-written memoir, Frank Waters shares intimate details of his friendships with many of the artists who lived in Taos, New Mexico during the Mabel Dodge Luhan era. A pulitzer prize-winning author, Waters uses his talent with the pen to acquaint the reader with his artist friends in Taos and tell his own life story. Waters also shares his exploration of the history of Native Americans in the Four Corners area. If anyone is qualified to write about the art world in Taos at that time, it is certainly Frank Waters. A must-read for those interested in the Southwest.
