| Notes | Eanger Irving Couse was born in 1866 and raised in Saginaw, Michigan where he was freely exposed to the culture of the Chippewa Indians. He trained at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League in New York, and the National Academy of Design. He moved to Paris in 1886 and for the next decade, studied at the Académie Julian and perhaps the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Couse spent his summers in Taos from 1903 to 1927, when he settled permanently. He was one of the six founders of the Taos Society of Artists. He made many Indian friends in Taos who nicknamed him Green Mountain because of his physique and his favorite green sweater. He gained the most recognition for his Indian painting which were reproduced on the calendar of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company. Couse became known as one of the foremost painters of the American Indian. Paintings represented include The Peublo Weaver, At The Canyon's Rim, The Turquoise Bead Maker, and many more. |
