Note:

Accompanied by the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe 1988 exhibition catalogue Józef Bakoś: An Early Modernist.

Born in 1891 in East Buffalo, New York, Józef Bakoś was a modernist American painter. While studying at the Albright Art School in Buffalo, art teacher John Thompson introduced him to Cézanne. In 1917, Bakoś took a job at the University of Colorado before settling in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1920. He was a founding member of “Los Cinco Pintores,” the first modernist painting group of New Mexico with his fellows Walter Mruk, Fremont Ellis, Willard Nash, and William Shuster. His paintings celebrate his adopted home in Santa Fe and the beautiful American landscapes of New Mexico.
