TAOS PORTRAITS
PHOTOS BY PAUL O’CONNOR
The characters reproduced in Taos Portraits and Taos Portraits II represent over 35 years of Paul O’Connor’s B&W photography in Taos. The portraits are of nationally famous, regionally known, and occasionally obscure artists; yet, all made their mark in the community. The accompanying essays illuminate the extraordinary personalities.
TAOS PORTRAITS II
Taos Portraits II: Photos by Paul O’Connor is the sequel to Taos Portraits. Like book one, sixty members of the Taos Art Community are portrayed in full-page B&W photographs with poignant and insightful essays about each character. The book is dedicated to Bill Whaley, with a full-page dedication written by John Nichols.
12" x 15" cloth cover with jacket, limited print run of 1000.
Plus a Special Edition of 100 with inset photo and signature plate signed by O’Connor, in a beautiful cloth-coverd clamshell case.
