About Gene Kloss

Born Alice Geneva Glasier in 1903, the artist is better known as Gene Kloss. Mrs. Kloss had the distinction of being the only female National Academician in graphics (1972). She received her BA from the University of California in 1924. Following graduation she married poet Phillips Kloss. Gene Kloss studied at the California School of Fine Arts (1924-1925) and became a summer visitor to Taos, New Mexico in 1925. In 1929, she and her husband became permanent residents of Taos.

In 1938 Gene Kloss' work was exhibited in Paris as a leading New Mexico artist along with Blumenschein, O'Keeffe and Sloan. She was best known for her New Mexico landscapes and genre scenes illustrating activities in the lives of Pueblo Indians.

Newly published is a two volume catalogue raisonne delineating each of Kloss's prints with accompanying photographs.
