After the war, the country enjoyed a better economic situation and more peace. Many artists and writers wanted to find a quiet place to work and live, and they looked towards New Mexico as a suitable place. This led to many artists and writers coming to the state. The influx of artists generated interest in the region, including its native art. Therefore, throughout the 1920s, the native arts of New Mexico experienced a revival.
