Though this photograph is titled Taos Pueblo, the actual pueblo, a corner of which peeks in at left, is almost incidental to the image. In fact, looking at the other elements- the tree, stream, horse, mountains, and sky, Knee suggests that Taos Pueblo is in nature, part of a larger world, and that the ramshackle fence is more of a gesture than a boundary. Indeed what dominates here are those things that can’t- or shouldn’t- be tamed, the freedom of the horse and the course of the stream, the ways in which trees grow and clouds move and mountains form.
-James D. Balestrieri
