Collaboration among peers, varied venues and multiple local music series makes this summer look like a hot one for live music fans.
Taos Is Art: Mabel Dodge Luhan, Tony Lujan, and a Town Slogan that Echoes Its Modernist Tastemakers
A visit to the Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos reveals the early-20th century arts patron as an enduring, and conflicting, local center of gravity. In June 2021, Rebecca Panovka scathingly announced in her article for The New Yorker, “The Strange Revival of Mabel Dodge Luhan”: “Not every forgotten woman is in need of a bio-pic.” Her piece was a tandem review of Frances Wilson’s D.H. Lawrence biography, Burning Man—a section of which covers Lawrence’s time in New Mexico with Luhan—and a fictional account of Luhan and Lawrence’s relationship in Rachel Cusk’s novel, Second Place. Nearly two years later, few of my friends had heard of Luhan when I announced that I was planning a stay at her house, now a three-star hotel in Taos, NM. The revival that Panovka feared had never come.
