The Sangre de Cristo Mountains run from southern Colorado through northern New Mexico, although it is likely that Andrew Dasburg painted this scene en plein air near Taos or Santa Fe. His abstract representation of the mountains, in which nature seems animate, derived in part from the influence of John Marin, who had visited Taos in 1929-30. Marin's watercolors of northern New Mexico encouraged Dasburg to take up the medium.
