Georgia O'Keeffe
Ranchos Church
ca. 1930


"(...) it has endured as a cultural and religious center for Hispanic Catholics living in the area.

This mission church, built of adobe, the Pueblo Indians' building material, later to be painted and photographed primarily by Anglo artists,
can be said to represent a blend of the three cultures of Northern New Mexico."
