Remembering Santa Fe
Willard F. Clark was a printmaker and artist who greatly shaped the way the rest of the world views old-time Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born in 1910 in Boston, he grew up in Argentina, and studied art during the summers in New York City at Grand Central Station Art School and the Hawthorn Art Academy. In 1928, on his way to California, he stopped in Santa Fe, New Mexico and fell in love with the majestic landscape of the American Southwest. There he started a small print shop and taught himself the craft of printing, cutting his own woodblocks, setting type, and binding small books. Willard Clark developed a graphic style that came to represent early Twentieth-century Santa Fe to many around the world.

I absolutely LOVED this book. The woodblock prints were perfect and the little memories to go with each print was a great companion. They weren't overly sentimental, but honest and to the point. Gave me some insight into Santa Fe in a different time. Special book and would make a great give for anyone who loves Santa Fe.

Such a delightful little read! The prints are lovely and capture Santa Fe and the surrounding towns with care and an apparent adoration. The text and images are a beautiful reflection of change and subtle request to think of why is really gained of “progress” and modernism, or more-so, what is lost. beautiful
