Alexis
Podchernikoff was born in Vladimir, Russia, in 1886 to a family of
artists. Podchernikoff immigrated to the U.S. in 1905, settling in
San Francisco. Several years later he was convinced by an art
dealer to move to the Santa Barbara area, where he specialized in
traditional romantic, realist landscapes of the Montecito area.
Podchernikoff lived his final years in Pasadena, where he died in
1933.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was a self-taught lithographer
for Currier and Ives in New York City and then became an
important documentary painter of Indian life in New Mexico. He
is best known for a series of sixty paintings focused on the
importance of corn in the culture of the Pueblo Indians.
In 1891, he went to Europe for four years of formal training and
apprenticed to artists in Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, and Munich.
In Antwerp, he met and sketched Buffalo Bill and his Indians in
the "Wild West Show," which was making a grand tour of Europe.
Ironically, it was this experience with Buffalo Bill in Europe
that set the direction of his career rather than his exposure to
European artists. However, lithography methods he learned in
Europe had a life-long influence on his work.
Returning to the United States, he studied the Iroquois Indians
in New York state and in Canada. Intending to return to Europe,
he went East again but got sidetracked from these travels in New
York City, where he spent ten years working on photography and
color printing inventions. These innovations financed his early
painting career.
In 1897, he married Sarah Stuart, and they returned to Europe
several times and then in 1905 went to the Southwest for the
first time to record ceremonies of Pueblo Indians. He built a
studio in Albuquerque in 1906 and traveled throughout the region
and then lived in New York before settling in Taos in 1929. He
built his studio on the edge of the reservation facing the
Sacred Mountain behind the Pueblo.
A highly private person, he was referred to by long time
resident and his twenty-year neighbor Mabel Dodge Luhan only as
"the Grand Old Man of the Pueblos" (Samuels 244).
He collected many Indian artifacts and recorded ethnological
information with his paintbrush. He had the first lithography
press in Taos, making prints that are of ethnological value, and
he also taught lithography. |
