Biography
Joseph Adam Imhof was born in 1871 in Brooklyn, New York. He taught himself lithography while working for Currier and Ives, beginning at age 15, where he was a piece-work letterer. He traveled and studied art in Europe during his twenties, lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico 1906 to 1912, and traveled again before settling permanently in Taos in 1929. He brought the first lithographic press to Taos in 1930. Imhof is recognized as a master lithographer and painter, recording the American Pueblo Indians’ way of life from 1907 until his death in Taos in 1955. Source: Reily, Nancy Hopkins and Lucille Enix.
