William Howard Shuster

William Howard Shuster (1893 - 1969) was an American artist. He arrived in New Mexico in the early twentieth century as one of the first wave of white artists who came to paint but stayed on to help build the arts community. As one of the members of Los Cincos Pintores ("the five painters") who showed throughout Santa Fe, Shuster was instrumental in creating the arts movement now known as Santa Fe Style. In 1924 he built and burned the first ever Zozobra, a municipal deity now burned every year in effigy, and symbolizing the gloom of the passing year.
