Taos Painters: Leon Shulman Gaspard (1882-1964)
Leon Gaspard was an interesting addition to the New Mexico arts scene when he arrived there in 1918. A Russian-born, French-trained veteran of the airborne campaigns of the Great War, he arrived physically diminished from a horrific plane crash that had put him in a French hospital for two years. Seeking a more hospitable climate, he arrived in Taos to find a vibrant arts community and an exotic blend of native, western and Hispanic cultures.

Cal Gaspard, Artist
Cal Gaspard is a self-taught artist with a technique that reflects the memories of his rural youth. After twenty-five years on a farm in Louisiana, Gaspard moved to Texas, where he nurtured and developed the skills of his art. From his childhood he was continuously sketching the scenes of his life but he only began taking his art seriously in 1968 when he sold three of his paintings from a sidewalk exhibition. Since then his reputation as a wildlife and landscape artist has mushroomed.
