Robert Daughters was an American painter closely associated with Taos and the art of the Southwest, known for expressive landscapes, village scenes, churches, and floral subjects rendered with bold brushwork and vivid, contrasting color. Raised in Missouri, he studied at the Kansas City Art Institute, first built a successful career in advertising and commercial art, and then left that field in the late 1960s to settle in New Mexico, where he developed the painterly style for which he is best known. Daughters became a founding member of the Taos Six and was later recognized with the 2004 Masters of the Southwest Award, securing his place as an important late twentieth-century interpreter of the New Mexico landscape.
