Pick out the short patches of pink, ochre and green that build each rounded hill, and the tiny buildings low in the center.
Hartley painted this in 1920, the year after he left New Mexico, working from memory. The title names the Cash Entry mines, but he played them down and gave the space to swelling hills and sky. As the years passed, his remembered Southwest grew steeper and brighter in color.
