Born in Paris in 1887, he studied at the Art Students League with Kenyon Cox and Frank DuMond. At the League's summer school in Woodstock he painted landscapes under Birge Harrison, whose subtle tonal approach this winter scene reflects. Snow-patched fields and a red barn lie beneath a long ridge of violet Catskill mountains, under a pale winter sky. Dasburg soon turned to Cézanne and Cubism and showed three oils and a sculpture at the 1913 Armory Show. In 1918 he first visited Taos, which became his home for the rest of his life.
