Opening Reception: Friday, July 3 | 5 - 7 PM

Exhibition Dates: July 3 - August 15, 2026

203 FINE ART is pleased to answer an age-old question: What is the difference between Robert Ellis and Robert Ellis? Aside from a middle initial that distinguishes the two artists (Robert C. Ellis and Robert M. Ellis), these two legendary modernist painters have consistently overlapped. From their use of the GI Bill after WWII, their time at the University of New Mexico, to choosing the small town of Taos as home and building international artistic careers that crossed the same borders, both Bobs have long deserved to have their individual stories shared. 

Mirrored by their names and juxtaposed by their paths, when paired together these two artists symbolize how influential each small decision in our life can become in shaping such dramatically different styles of self-expression. This exhibition serves to share the lifelong importance of two powerful artists and patrons. It is created in partnership with the Robert M. Ellis Art Collection Trust and the Estate of Robert C. Ellis.
