In what year did Mabel Dodge move to Taos?

• A. 1916
• B. 1917
• C. 1918
• D. 1919

Answer: (B)

Mabel Dodge’s move to Taos in 1917 marks a pivotal moment when urban avant-garde patrons extended their influence into the Southwest, helping to fuse modernist ideas with a growing Taos artist community. She relocated there to create a salon-rich residence that connected painters and writers from New York and Europe with Taos’s local culture, catalyzing the region’s emergence as a major arts hub. That year is the one in which she began living in Taos and establishing her influential circle, whereas 1916 would have been before the move and 1918 or 1919 would come after the relocation.
