Accomplished modern abstract artists by the 1950s, R.C. Ellis and Michio Takayama were both an important part of the group known as the Taos Moderns. Good friends in life, Ellis and Takayama's paintings will hang side by side at 203 Fine Art, in the first exhibition of either artists work since their passing. Both artists were recipients of a Helene Wurlitzer Foundation Grant in Taos, and became Legends of Taos modern art history.
