Courtesy @BocaMuseum Emil Bisttram (born 1895 in Nadlac, Hungary now Romania; Died 1976 in Taos, New Mexico) Flower Forms, 1932-35 Oil on canvas Loan Courtesy of Thomas H. and Diane DeMell Jacobsen, PhD Foundation After moving to Taos, New Mexico in 1932, Bisttram sought a modern approach to depicting the Southwest. Specifically, he began to combine the traditionalism of representational art with the mystical tendencies of abstraction. In his words: “Art…should concern itself not with imitation but with creation, otherwise it fails in its prime purpose: that of inspiring and stimulating thought.” A few years after painting Flower Forms, Bisttram, along with fellow Taos-based artist, Raymond Johnson, founded the Transcendental Painters Group to foster and promote abstract and non-objective art informed by Theosophy, Buddhism and Dynamic Symmetry.
