n 1909, with his spirited young bride at his side, and a packhorse on a lead rope, Leon Gaspard embarked on a two-year honeymoon ride across the expansive steppe of Southern Russia, sketching many different tribes of peoples. It was one of several journeys that finally led the artist to Taos, New Mexico. Gaspard's life was as colorful as the paintings that adorn this book. This terrific work is a monograph on the life and work of Russian painter, Leon Gaspard, with rich full color images of his paintings throughout.
