Hungarian born, Emil Bisttram became one of the Southwest's leading
painters and teachers. He was a founder of the Transcendental Art
movement in New Mexico, devoted to themes exploring and promoting

suggested sounds.
Best

ranged from the classic regionalism of the 1930s (WPA murals) to
abstractions based on the dynamic symmetry theories he learned from Jay
