Provenance: Private collection, New Mexico Bonhams, Los Angeles, CA, 2009 Private collection, California Edgar Payne first saw the Southwest the same way many tourists from the East Coast experienced it: from a car on the Santa Fe Railway. The trip included a group of artists and was paid for by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, which was using painters to establish the myth of the Southwest. Stops along the journey included Gallup, New Mexico; Canyon de Chelly; Navajo and Hopi reservations; and ended at the El Tovar hotel at the Grand Canyon on October 15, 1916. It was that trip that laid the groundwork for Payne’s paintings of canyons, Navajos and the desert. “He returned to that glorious country nearly every year that he was in America the rest of his life,” his wife wrote after he died.
