Description

New Mexico artist Roderick Mead was one of the few printmakers to work with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris in the 1930s, New York in the 1940s and again in Paris in the 1950s.

Mead's work was represented in the important 1944 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York titled "Hayter and Studio 17" which included 60 prints by 32 artists from 12 nations.

This image is of the "Rocky Arroyo" a river that runs through, Eddy County, New Mexico, where Carlsbad is located, the artist's home after 1941.
