New Mexico boasts two early art communities centred around Santa Fe and Taos. It's hard to say which members are more interesting, but since I have a background in biology/ecology, I'd have to admit to finding landscapes more to my liking.
One can find lots of names to delve into at this wikipedia page:
Three favourites are W. Herbert Dunton, Oscar E. Berninghaus and Ernest L. Blumenschein. A new biography of Blumenschein was just published which includes some of my favourite paintings. See this Denver Art Museum page for more information on the biography.
