She traveled to the southwestern United States in 1905 and lived among the Hopi for several years, recording their lives in about 600 photographs.

==Career==

===New York=== Cory studied oil painting and photography at Cooper Union<ref name="Waukegan bio" /> and Art Students League of New York<ref name=Opitz /> She was an instructor at Cooper Union.<ref name="Many and Varied" />

Cory was an American photographer, painter, muralist, and sculptor.<ref name=Petteys>Petteys, Chris, ''Dictionary of Women Artists'', G K Hill & Co. publishers, 1985</ref> She made her living as a commercial artist, contributing drawings to ''Recreation'' magazine and was involved with New York's Pen and Brush Club.<ref name=Opitz />

Beginning in 1895, Cory partnered with potter Charles Volkmar to create hand-painted plaques, cups and plates of historic people, like William Penn and Alexander Hamilton. Buildings figured in the designs, such as George Washington's headquarters. The works were painted in blue, primarily by Cory. Their shop, Volkmar and Cory Pottery, was located in Corona in Queens, New York. In 1903 Volkmar opened a pottery business in Metuchen, New Jersey, called Charles Volkmar & Son.<ref>Edwin Atlee Barber. ''[https://archive.org/details/marksamericanpo00barbgoog/page/n90  Marks of American Potters]''. Patterson & White Company; 1904. pp. 82–83.</ref>

===Hopi villages 1905–1912=== At the Pen and Brush Club, Cory met artist Louis Akin, who had just returned from the Southwest. He had made paintings of the Hopi Indians to promote tourism along the Santa Fe Railroad route.<ref name="Waukegan bio" /> Her interest in the western United States had been sparked by Ernest Seton and when Akin told her of his plans to begin an artists' colony in Northern Arizona in 1905, Cory booked passage on a train to Canyon Diablo, Arizona,<ref name="Waukegan bio" /><ref name=Opitz /> and then traveled north 65 miles through the desert to the high mesa of the Hopi reservation.<ref name="Trenton p. 133">Patricia Trenton; Sandra D'Emilio; Autry Museum of Western Heritage.

University of California Press; 1995. {{ISBN|978-0-520-20203-0}}. p. 133.</ref>

She intended to visit the Hopi mesas where Akin intended to establish an artist colony for a couple of months of a tour of the western United States. When she got off the train she realized that she was the lone art colonist.<ref name="Bernardin p. 73" /> Except for periods in Canada and California (1909), from 1905 to 1912 Cory lived among the Hopi at Oraibi and Walpi.<ref name=Opitz>Opitz, Glenn B., ''Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of American Painters, Sculptors & Engravers'', Apollo Books, Poughkeepsie, NY, 1988</ref> In Oraibi she lived at the top of a Hopi pueblo, her space rented to her by a Hopi friend, that she accessed via stone steps and ladders.<ref>Stewart B.

Cory learned the Hopi language, wrote about Hopi grammar, and mediated a disturbance.<ref name="Many and Varied">"Many and Varieties of Activities of Women: Working among the Indians." ''Atlanta Constitution Magazine Section''. December 15, 1915.</ref>

While there, she painted the landscape and the Hopi people. She also took about 600 photographs, recording virtually all aspects of Hopi life, social as well as sacred.<ref name=Trenton>{{cite book|editor-last=Trenton|editor-first=Patricia|title=Independent Spirits: Women Painters of the American West, 1890–1945|year=1995|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley, Los Angeles|page=134}}</ref> She took posed portraits, photographs of ceremonies and images of individuals, "which suggest a warm and spontaneous relationship". Her pictures depicted a traditional Hopi way of life on the precipice of having to assimilate or adapt to modern white America. Cory left the Hopi villages in 1912 and her viewpoints on life changed as a result of her relationships with the Hopi people, including eschewing modern consumerism.<ref name="Bernardin p. 73">Susan Bernardin.

She was not the first to photograph the Hopi; however, due to her intimacy with the culture, she was able to capture a more personal view than earlier photographers.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Laird|first=W. David|title=The Hopi Photographs: Kate Cory, 1905–1912 by Marie Gared; Barton Wright; Marc Gaede|journal=Journal of Arizona History|year=1989|volume=30|issue=3|pages=352–354}}</ref> She didn't sell her photographs, but would use them as illustrations for her essays, like ''Life and Its Living in Hopiland – The Hopi Women'', which was published in a magazine in 1909.<ref name="Bernardin p. 74" /> The same year she received an Honorable Mention for a painting exhibited at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exhibition in Seattle. In 1915 the Smithsonian Institution bought 25 of the paintings Cory made during the time that she lived with the Hopis.<ref name="Many and Varied" />

===Prescott=== She moved to Prescott, Arizona, in 1913<ref name=Opitz /> and lived in a stone house built and furnished by Hopi workers.<ref name="Sharlot bio" /> Cory exhibited a painting, ''Arizona Desert'', at the Armory Show of 1913 which sold for $150,<ref>Brown, Milton W., ''The Story of the Armory Show'', The Joseph H. Hirshhorn Foundation, 1963, p. 232</ref> and received an honorable mention at the show.<ref>Michael Leja.

Because of declining attendance at the Prescott Rodeo, Cory helped a group of local men calling themselves "Smoki" (pronounced Smoke-eye) with information about Hopi ceremonies that they performed. When the Smoki grew large enough to need a permanent facility and a museum, Cory assisted with the design and decoration of the buildings. She also painted her largest paintings for display in the Smoki Museum, where they still hang.

In her earnest intention to avoid living a wasteful life, she became known in Prescott for being eccentric. Fellow church members offered to replace her torn and tattered clothes. She was frugal, but gave away two cabins she owned to renters. She removed debris from rain water and used it to develop photographs. Rather than sell her paintings, she bartered them.<ref name="Bernardin p. 74" /> She was described as having had "a plain, weather-beaten face, pulled-back hair, a determined black-clothed walk with a cane, as if every trip downtown were aimed at confronting the mayor."<ref>John Weston.

==Legacy== The negatives for the photographs that Cory took between 1905 and 1912 were found in the 1980s in a cardboard box along with other materials donated to the Smoki Museum. Not knowing how to preserve the negatives, the museum gave them to the Museum of Northern Arizona, who was better equipped to maintain and preserve the images. Marc Gaede, director of photography at the museum, Marnie Gaede and Barton Wright created the book ''The Hopi Photographs: Kate Cory: 1905–1912'' based on some of the found images, some of which are ceremonial scenes. Due to concern from the Hopis about the rights to their cultural property, many images will not be published by the museum and are available in a restricted file for viewing by researchers.<ref name="Bernardin p. 76">Susan Bernardin.
