Provenance: Scottsdale Art Auction, Scottsdale, AZ, 2006 Private collection, California Although several of the Taos Society of Artists painted nocturnes, none were as active in the genre as Eanger Irving Couse, who painted dozens of scenes bathed in blue moonlight. During a 1974 exhibition of Couse’s works, Harold McCracken acknowledged that the artist transcended his art form. “Eanger Irving Couse as an artist can probably best be described as a poet with paint brushes rather than pencils or a typewriter…The Indian paintings Couse put on canvas have the distinctiveness which is the hallmark of a great artist. It does not take any great amount of expertise to recognize a Couse picture, even at a considerable distance and without looking at the signature.”
