Joseph Henry Sharp’s work is strongly tied to Taos, New Mexico, and yet it also had links to Cincinnati, where he studied art and made connections to Henry Farny, John Henry Twachtman and others. It was in Cincinnati—and also in Munich, Germany—where he was exposed to tonalism, a painting movement defined by its subtle use of colors, depictions of atmosphere and narrow color values. These qualities are on view in Winter Camp, Montana, painted in 1908 during Sharp’s adventures on the Crow Agency in Montana. This painting may have been painted in his mobile sheep wagon studio, the Prairie Dog.
