Date: 1901.Couse may have first developed an interest in Native Americans and their customs while growing up in Saginaw, Michigan. While he was a student at the Académie Julian in Paris, he learned of Taos, New Mexico. Wishing to draw inspiration from that isolated town and its Native-American inhabitants, Couse established a summer studio in Taos in 1902, shortly after his return to the United States. He also studied and painted the Indians of the Northwest coast along the Columbia River. "The Peace Pipe," which depicts three men around a small campfire in the woods, displays Couse's academic training in its attention to nearly-nude figures as well as his interest in the effects of firelight.
