Santa Fe Market
MARTHA MARKS COMMENTS ON BERNARD MARKS’ COMPLEX PAINTING “SANTA FE MARKET”:
Bernie painted many versions of this annual celebration of Native American arts and crafts, called Indian Market. He made several from a special vantage point, a “secret perch” up above the action.
But somehow, Bernie always managed to make each painting unique. Maybe it was the angle he chose. Possibly it was the light he saw. It could have been the colors of the buildings. Or the arrangement of the tents. For sure, it was the wide variety of human and animal figures. Each version he did is different and special. Most of them are complex, too, like this one.
I love them all, but “Santa Fe Market” holds a special place in my heart. I suspect that’s because I was right there beside him as he made his original sketches, shooting reference photos for his later use in the studio.
