Andrew Michael Dasburg (4 May 1887 – 13 August 1979) was an American modernist painter and "one of America's leading early exponents of cubism".

[2] In 1909 Dasburg visited Paris and joined the modernist circle of artists living there, including Morgan Russell, Jo Davidson, and Arthur Lee.

[11] In 1924, Dasburg collaborated with a group of other artists and writers to form the Spanish and Indian Trading Company, a cooperative "curio shop" located on East San Francisco across from Santa Fe's La Fonda.

In its inaugural year, the store sold Dasburg's own collection of Native American and Mexican blankets, and Witter Bynner's Navajo silver.

[12] In both New York and Taos, he was part of the social milieu that included Georgia O'Keeffe and Gertrude Stein, and a close friend of Mabel Dodge Luhan.

[4] A painting named The Absence of Mabel Dodge was allegedly painted to inflame the jealousy of her then-lover, mutual friend John Reed (it was a pointed reminder of a peyote celebration in which the two had shared), and for four years Dasburg and Reed's other lover Louise Bryant carried on an affair.

[13] The elderly Dasburg appeared posthumously as himself in the movie about Reed and Bryant, Reds, although he "curiously ... does not speak of his intimacy with either".
