SHOPPING IN SANTA FE From the time of the ancient Anazasi, the Santa Fe area has been a trading center. The Santa Fe Trail is synonymous with the romance of the old west, and from the time of New Mexico statehood in 1912, Santa Fe has been a multicultural art center and shoppers’ paradise.
Santa Fe is a top US art center, with museums, shopping, Year-round outdoor activities, top flight restaurants, spas, and world famous cultural events. It’s not just your grandparents’ Santa Fe, it’s walkable, historic, charming, and exciting.A high desert destination of distinction and fun.

IT’S CERTAINLY NO SURPRISE THAT Northern New Mex-ico has served as an inspiration to artists dating back to the beginning of the last century. There’s a simplicity and openness in our architec-ture and landscape that has inspired a variety of artists, including those with an inclination toward modernism.
This weekend the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum opens an excellent show of significant artists—Jozef Bakos, Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others—who were inspired by our environ-ment and used it in the scope of what we consider modernism. The artists, who created the work in the exhibit between 1902 and 1940, aimed to evoke a sense of place while avoiding creating representa-tions that imitated the visual appearance of the land, instead favoring simplified, abstracted compositions and bold colors, i.e., modernism.
I encourage you to visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and see for yourself this excellent sampling of significant artists who not only cre-ated stunning artwork, but also furthered a movement within the art world. Once again, the joy of living in Santa Fe and having access to this incredible display is ours to enjoy.

10th annual Sweetheart Auction
Fine art by notable sculptors and painters, catered dinners with Santa Fe’s biggest stars, weekend getaways, and a 15-day African safari will all be on the bidding block during the 10th annual Sweetheart Auction, a fundraiser that includes a buffet dinner and an open bar.
Auction attendees not only have the chance to bid on more than 300 great prizes, they’re also supporting the important work of the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico (CFFNM), which helps offset the cost of transportation, lodging, and meals for Northern New Mexico cancer patients who come to Santa Fe for treatments that are otherwise unavailable to them. In 2014, CFFNM supported more than 10,000 patient visits, up from 8,000
in 2013.New to this
year’s auction are “gallery sweethearts”—galleries that donate five or more items. “This is a wonderful way to give more visibility and acknowledgement to our biggest supporters,”
says Bud Hamilton, chairman of CFFNM’s board. Another addition this year is the “dream vacation” raffle for two to Paris and Prague, Fiji, Tokyo, or the PGA Championship in Wisconsin. Tickets are available at cffnm.org, and you don’t have to be present at the drawing to win.
A few other desirable auction items this year include a one-week stay at an Italian villa; a fly-fishing trip on the San Juan River; a barbecue for 50 people; and works by Allan Houser, Gustave Baumann, Tony Abeyta, Pablita Velarde, Kevin Red Star, and other renowned artists. A catered dinner for 12 offers the chance to dine with acclaimed author Hampton Sides and film and television writer Bruce McKenna, who are collaborating on the screenplay for Sides’s book Blood and Thunder. —Cristina Olds

Fashion into Food
From February 6 to February 8, the Bag ‘n Hand Food Pantry at St.
John’s United Methodist Church will hold its first Fashion into Food pop-up event. The fundraiser, which centers on the sale of women’s fine clothing and accessories, will allow Bag ‘n Hand, a partner agency of The Food Depot and the largest food pantry in Northern New Mexico, to buy groceries for Santa Feans in need. A “First Choice” party held on February 6 will give attendees early access to high-end items from designers such as Prada, Versace, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren while also offering a juice tasting and light hors d’oeuvres courtesy of Verde Juice. Santa Feans can donate their own lightly used women’s clothes and accessories prior to the event either in person or via pickup.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to the community with a fun event where people can find fine clothing for a fraction of the typical cost,” event producer Yon Hudson said in a statement. “There’s nothing better than shopping for a good cause.”—Amy Hegarty
Fashion into Food, February 6, “First Choice” party, $25, 6–9 pm; February 7, general admission ( free), 10 am–6 pm; February 8, general admission ( free), 1–6 pm; St. John’s United Methodist Church, 1200 Old Pecos Trl; for further information: Yon Hudson, 505-795-8222, [email protected] or Laura Steward, 505-231-6400, [email protected]

On January 16, Don Kennell’s 13-foot sculpture Blue Gorilla, which is, in part, a commentary on the global impact of automobiles’ carbon footprint, was installed in the Railyard, where it will be on view through March. Santa Fe elementary school classes are submitting new names for the creation; the winner will be announced on February 2.

Chris Kyle, the American sniper of American Sniper, is shielded by righteousness. At one point in the film, a letter is read at the funeral of a fallen soldier, which reads in part: “When does glory fade away and become a wrongful crusade?” While driving home, Kyle says: “That letter killed Mark. He let go and he paid the price for it.” Kyle killed at least 160 people, more than any other sniper in U.S military history. How? Skill with a rifle, certainly, but also steadfast conviction that every soul he shot deserved to die.
The search for ambiguity makes American Sniper fascinating. Bradley Cooper is magnificent as Kyle, beefed up and wholly embodying the Don’t-Mess-With-Texas swagger. Yet there are things Kyle sees through his scope that jar him, including children who might kill soldiers if he doesn’t take them down. In those moments, and as he watches friends die, Kyle’s traumatized eyes change, unveiling sadness and

(maybe) doubt. At the very least, all that death is disturbing him. American Sniper is a prestige film, recently nominated for the
Best Picture Oscar, and rated R, so no kids. Movies like that aren’t supposed to debut at more than $100 million, but, just in time for
awards season, we have an unprecedented critical and commercial hit directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood and starring Cooper, a superstar at his pinnacle who, with American Sniper, earned his third Oscar nomination in three years.
The film, which Cooper produced, shouldn’t win for Best Picture, though, because it doesn’t care about the enemy. The villains are generic. A rival sniper kills soldiers and is hunting Kyle . . . and doesn’t get a single line of dialogue. It’s black and white, good versus evil, but this is how Kyle saw the war, and it’s why (he thinks) he is such a successful soldier. It’s also why the cracks in Kyle’s psyche are compelling. His home life, with his beautiful family, is messy and difficult. He’s a proud soldier, losing his mind. Kyle’s true, tragic story embodies all aspects of war. He is war’s dilemma.—Phil Parker

Mozart’s Divertimento in F Major, Haydn’s String Quartet No. 30, and Dvořrák’s String Quartet No. 14.
“We always try to show how different and interesting quartet music really is,” Kotow says. “[In this concert,] we play a very early piece by Mozart, which wasn’t even written as a real quartet, and an early Haydn quartet, which was one of the first quartets ever written. We compare these two great classical works with two quartets by the great Slavic composers Dvorák and Szymanowski.”
The ensemble, whose members studied at the Hochschule für Musik in Hannover, Germany, regularly appears at music festivals worldwide and has performed in major venues such as New York’s Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall, and Vienna’s Musikverein. Those who want to learn more about the quartet from the musicians themselves can attend a post-concert dinner with Kotow, Szymczewska, Mykytka, and Sieniawski. Szymanowski Quartet, February 8, 3 pm, $20–$65, St. Francis Auditorium at the New Mexico Museum of Art, 107 W Palace; Artist Dinner, February 8, 5:30 pm, $75; 505-988-4640, santafepromusica.com
by Emily Van Cleve
ONE OF THE INITIAL GOALS OF the renowned Szymanowski Quartet was to make their namesake, composer and pianist Karol Szymanowski (1882–1937), more widely known outside his native Poland.
“When we started the quartet nearly 20 years ago, we [chose] our name [so that we could] make Szymanowski more popular,” explains violinist Grzegorz Kotow, who performs around the world alongside cellist Marcin Sieniawski and fellow violinists Agata Szymczewska and Volodia Mykytka. “We realized that not many people knew he composed two beautiful string quartets.”
Although the group won’t be playing those quartets during its February 8 concert at St. Francis Auditorium, they will be performing the string quartet versions of Szymanowski’s Nocturne and Tarantella.
“Nocturne and Tarantella were originally written for violin and piano,” Kotow says. “Nocturne is full of colors, and Tarantella is full of dance elements. We’ll play the version of these pieces made especially for us by Ukrainian composer Miroskav Skoryk.”
Szymanowski’s pieces are part of a diverse program, presented by Santa Fe Pro Musica, that also features

Todd Snider’s best work is truly hilarious and unexpectedly moving
at the same time.
Todd Snider celebrates 20 years of great storytellingby Rodney Gross
IN 1994, JIMMY BUFFETT’S record label released an album by a new singer-songwriter named Todd Snider. Songs for the Daily Planet was named for a Memphis music club where Snider had been honing his craft, but it ended up being an apt metaphor for what he would wind up doing for the next 20 years: creating musical narratives that chart the struggles of everyday people, particularly those on the lower end of the economic scale. If you’re unfamiliar with Snider’s work, that might sound a little depressing, but the good news is that he’s an expert at mining the humor from his characters’ predicaments. His best work is truly hilarious and unexpectedly moving at the same time.
Daily Planet was a bit of a crash course in the Snider perspective. It gained immediate attention for poking fun at the music industry’s chase for the next big thing with “Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues” and the first of his stoner misfit masterpieces, “Alright Guy.” Snider’s recent memoir, I Never Met a Story I Didn’t Like, details how that song almost became part of Garth Brooks’s Chris Gaines album, and he tells that story with as much big-hearted empathy as he conveys when he talks about any of the fictional—and much poorer—characters he makes up from thin air.
Snider followed up his first album with several more good ones, but none of them led anyone to expect East Nashville Skyline, which was released in 2004. It is an uncommonly strong collection of songs, including his arguably best number, “Play a Train Song,” a biographical portrait of a recently deceased friend. There was also a surprisingly funny rumination on suicide (“Sunshine”); an imagined confrontation between Mike Tyson and one of his employees (“Iron Mike’s Main Man’s Last Request”); a meditation on the silliness of adults overreacting to their children’s controversial musical tastes (“The Ballad of the Kingsmen”); and the sidesplitting comical faux-country classic, “Conservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight, White, American Males.”
In recent years, Snider’s material has become politically even more unapologetically progressive, and his musical style has tended toward a rawer and more raucous sound. Those are not criticisms, by the way, but there is something to be said for a solo acoustic tour in support of the upcoming rereleases of Songs for the Daily Planet and East Nashville Skyline, both of which will feature in Snider’s performance at The Lensic on February 10. The great stories this artist sings (and speaks) should all be clear as a bell.
Heath Concerts Presents Todd Snider at The Lensic, February 10, 7:30 pm, $22–$42, 211 W San Francisco, 505-988-1234, ticketssantafe.org, heathconcerts.org

Art MattersON JANUARY 30, THE SANTA FE GALLERY Association kicks off the first installment of its Art Matters series for the new year. Collections comprises presentations, discussions, and exhibits at more than 20 member galleries and museums and centers on promoting connoisseurship, art education, and support for the local art scene. Most of the galleries participating in this event “will exhibit either entire collections or parts of collections,” says David Eichholz, president of the SFGA board of directors. “The presentations can also cover any aspect of collections, from curating and conserving to valuing and deaccessioning and more.”
Eichholz notes that the galleries’ featured collections may showcase the work of one artist or a group of artists; be public or private; or center on specific historical periods, movements, or subject matters. “Collections can be as diverse as the galleries themselves,” he says. “The exhibitions can vary a great deal.”
Art Matters events, which have been taking place since October 2013, are intended for collectors and lovers of art of all stripes, whether they’re amateurs or professionals. Attendees can meet and interact with artists, historians,

Jeri Moore, Listening, mixed media on paper, 20 x 16"
Drawing inspiration from Gauguin, Matisse, and Mexican muralists, Austin-based painter Jeri Moore creates mixed-media figurative works with a textural quality. The colorful, whimsical figures Moore portrays are often embracing or otherwise representing powerful emo-tions. “I am intrigued by our emotional and mental arena, which is juxtaposed to our daily activities,” Moore says in a state-ment. “My desire is drawn to the place that holds the spiritual and physical in place.”—Emily Van Cleve

photography trioexhibit ions by three ac c la imed photographers a re on view at Verve Gal ler y
by Ashley M. Big gers
NORMAN MAUSKOPF, TONY O’BRIEN, and David Scheinbaum—three of Santa Fe’s top photographers and educators—are simultaneously mounting separate exhibitions of their newest works at Verve Gallery of Photography. Al-though the men pursue disparate subjects and styles, they’re united through their talent and the long stretches of time they devote to single subjects.
In American Triptychs, Mauskopf, whose career spans three decades and includes four award-winning books, showcases 10 trios of images he took in the 1980s while traveling around the U.S. “These works are less in [Norman’s] traditional style of documentary photography,” says Jennifer Schlesinger, director of Verve. “We decided on [which images to print] based on finding the strongest single images that also worked well in a triptych. All [of the images] show Americana,” she adds. “Some have humor. Some were fun and satirical.”
O’Brien, the director of the photography program at the
Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Marion Center of Photographic Arts, continues his documentary series of Syrian refugees eking out a makeshift existence in Jordan with Sketches from Syria. “Tony is sticking to his style and dealing with people in a serious and sensitive situation,” Schlesinger says. “I can see that he’s diving deeper into the portraiture. I can see his sensitivity and compassion in the portraits.”
The images in Scheinbaum’s Kalós exhibition are more about technique than subject matter. “[They’re] very different from [David’s] traditional documentary fine-art photography,” Schlesinger notes. “[They’re] exploratory for him.” Scheinbaum, the former director and chairman of the Marion Center for Photographic Arts’ photography department, will show eight digital prints and 13 one-of-a-kind calotypes—paper nega-tive images exposed in the camera obscura—that feature subjects such as flowers, a Campbell’s soup can, and a camera.
All three of the photographers “work in education but are also talented in their own art,” Schlesinger says. “It’s an honor to show all three at the same time.”

Modernism Made in New Mexicoa new show at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum spot l ights ear ly-20th-centur y works inspired by the Land of Enchantment
by Ashley M. Big gers
IN 1929, GEORGIA O’Keeffe and her friend Beck Strand wrote to painter John Marin about their recent New Mexico sojourn. Marin traveled to the Land of Enchantment just two weeks later, joining O’Keeffe and many other early American modernists who flocked to the state in the first four decades of the 20th cen-tury. A new exhibition at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Modernism Made in New Mexico, which opens January 30, ex-plores the lure of New Mexico and, specifically, its influence on the American modernist aes-thetic by showcasing the work of 15 painters.
According to curator Carolyn Kastner, New Mexico figures most prominently as the place that distinguished Ameri-
can modernism from that of Europe. The sheer number of artists who traveled to the state—among them Jozef Bakos, Stuart Davis, Edward Hopper, Raymond Jonson, and Cady Wells, in addition to Marin and O’Keeffe—established New Mexico as a modernist stronghold. Here, the artists found wide-open spaces, deserts leading to mountains, and cultures and architectural styles never before captured by their contemporaries on canvas.
As seen in the 40 works featured in the exhibit, the artists favored bold, abstracted forms. They flattened fields of depth (perhaps none so much as O’Keeffe herself ) and created individualistic, styl-ized landscapes. This subjectivity created a diverse body of work.
“Modernism is a title and a category,” Kastner says. “The artists were striving toward a breakout method of painting, but you see many different solutions to it. You’re not going to see similar kinds of painting techniques or subjects [in the show].”

SANTA FE–BASED WESTERN photographer Robert Dawson was once talking with his friend James Faks (Blackfoot) about young tribal members’ lack of interest in Native American history and traditions. “They’re more addicted to their Xbox than they are involved in their culture,” Dawson says. The duo decided to produce a photography series depicting Native Americans in period-correct dress, engaged in daily living and spiritual practices, to “spark some interest with the younger crowd in their culture.”
In the series’ eight initial photographs, now on display at The Santa Fe Gallery, Faks models mid-1800s Blackfoot Indian dress on the open prairie near Chinle, Arizona, during the monsoon season. The authentic garments were borrowed from Emmy Award–winning costume designer Cathy Smith, who created the costumes in the film Dances with Wolves.
Dawson is planning similar photo shoots in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon, and he mentions featuring members of the Crow, Shoshone, and Nez Pierce tribes as subjects. (He says he will provide copies of all the photographs to the culture committees of the respective tribes for their historic archives and educational purposes). In the next couple of years, after he’s accumulated some 200 photographs, Dawson plans to publish a coffee-table book based on this series. “We’re in the very beginning stages [of this project],” he notes. “It’s like putting together a small feature film, where we need to coordinate locations, models, traditional dress, and horses.”—Cristina Olds

New Year, New You
IF YOU HAVEN’T RECOVERED from the stress of the holidays, it’s not too late to treat yourself to a little R&R at the Inn and Spa at Loretto. The spa’s half-day “New Year, New You” package, which is being offered at a discounted rate through January 31, includes four treatments that will rejuvenate the body and the soul. “New Year, New You is about more than just relaxation,” says spa director Suzanne Chavez. “It’s about true rest as well as contemplation of and preparation for the year to come.”
The experience begins with an OxyGeneo facial, which features a vibrating wand that’s hooked up to a computer and exfoliates, infuses, and massages the skin based on which attachment the aesthetician has placed at the end of the device. The wand also oxygenates the skin by allowing CO2 bubbles to gently burst on the skin’s surface, sending oxygen-rich blood to the area. “The OxyGeneo facial is ideal any time of year to refresh an rejuvenate the skin,” says lead aesthetician Michelle Sandoval. “It protects against Santa Fe’s high-desert drying nature.” According to Sandoval, Loretto is one of only two spas in the country to offer this facial, which is also available as a stand-alone procedure.
Next comes an undisturbed soak in a private, oversized tub infused with house-crafted sage aromatherapy oil and fresh rose petals. Loretto’s 80-minute Signature Sacred Stone massage (also available individually) is the third—and perhaps most relaxing—treatment of New Year, New You. Heated basalt rocks warm your muscles while also releasing tension and increasing energy

t imeless styles from a local fashion designer
CHAR DE VAZQUEZ has owned a boutique in Santa Fe for almost 30 years, and over the decades she’s managed to continuously create new, buzz-worthy products and designs. Her latest line, the Char Designer Blouse Collection, is her first departure from leatherwork and features 20 styles of white cotton shirts with lace accents that are handmade in Bali.
“I was inspired by a beautiful white cotton shirt I’ve had in my closet,” says de Vazquez, who grew up in Colorado and started wholesaling her handmade leather clothing in 1976. “I did some research to find out exactly where it was made. When I traveled to Bali, I didn’t find a factory but a group of women hand-sewing shirts in their small community.”
The Char Designer Blouse Collection complements de Vazquez’s inventory of leather items, which includes jackets, vests, and bags whose style, the designer says, is inspired by a fusion of 1960s aesthetics and Native American design
elements. De Vazquez, whose work is included in the permanent collection of Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, sells her pieces at saintestate.com, a website she shares with her sons, Austin jewelry designers Demian and Alex Vazquez, and through her retail boutique at 206 McKenzie Street.
“I opened my first store in Santa Fe in 1986 on Old Santa Fe Trail, across from La Fonda, but about three years ago I decided I needed a change and moved to [my current] building,” de Vazquez says. “It’s white, inside and out, so I call the business The White Studio. It’s a wonderful place to host events focused around inventory I want to highlight.”
Designer clothing and accessories from around the world are also showcased in de Vazquez’s boutique, including new hand-knit sweaters from Portugal. “I’m so excited by these sweaters that I’m going to design my own line and have them handmade in Portugal,” she says.

Acclaimed author, poet, and screenwriter Sherman Alexie
spoke at the Institute for American Indian Arts’ semi-annual Writers Festival, held on the IAIA campus January
3–8. The IAIA faculty member, who grew up on the Spokane
Indian Reservation, has earned numerous honors for his work,
including the PEN/Faulkner Award and the National Book Award. His
January 9 lecture—which was free and drew nearly 300 people
to the Library and Technology Center auditorium—was followed
by an informal Q&A. Described as “one of our
strongest showings of known writers in the country” by Jon
Davis, director of IAIA’s Low Residency MFA in Creative
Writing, the festival also featured readings by Jess Walter, Joy

“I consider [karaoke] group therapy with a full bar,” says Michéle Leidig, host of the award-winning Limelight Karaoke at The Palace Restaurant & Saloon in downtown Santa Fe. For the past two years, Leidig has facilitated and “wrangled the queue” of eager karaoke performers every Thursday night. “Singing is a very vulnerable thing,” Leidig notes. “I get people coming in saying, ‘I had a bad day and I need to work it out on the stage.’” The professional singer also hosts weekly karaoke at Cowgirl BBQ and Junction, and she touts all three shows as some of Santa Fe’s best opportunities for socializing. “While waiting for their three minutes of fame, people start conversations,” Leidig says. “Everyone’s singing at their tables.” Leidig’s group of regulars are exceptional singers, she adds. “There’s a lot of artistic talent in Santa Fe—and in the people who come from around the world to visit—and karaoke is just one way for them to express themselves.”—Cristina Olds
