Hurlstone Fairchild was an illustrator, writer and painter of southwestern subjects.

His later life was devoted to promoting the arts of the southwest, and he co-founded the Gallery of Southwestern Art in Tucson sometime in the 1950's. This example of Fairchild's work depicts the landscape around the Rincon Mountains east of Tucson.
