El Paso: A Century of Art |
El Paso is at the far western tip of Texas, where New Mexico and the Mexican state of Chihuahua meet in a harsh desert environment around the slopes of Mount Franklin on the Rio Grande, it's an area which has often been compared to the Nile in Egypt. As sixteenth century Spaniards approached the Rio Grande from the south they viewed two mountain ranges rising out of the desert with a deep chasm between. This site they named El Paso del Norte (the Pass of the North).
The El Paso area is a region of stark beauty where the sun reflects red, gold and brown from craggy mountains and desert landscapes. The faces of the citizens of El Paso are as unique as the landscape and their stories are as old as the countries that El Paso unites.
