EDITORS COMMENTS
Petroglyph, 1935/1942" is a captivating lithograph on paper created by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol during the 1930s or 1940s. This vibrant and intriguing artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the United States. The image depicts a series of multi-colored human figures, reminiscent of ancient petroglyphs, etched onto a rocky surface. The figures are arranged in a dynamic composition, with some interacting with each other and others standing alone. The use of bold, bright colors adds a modern and abstract twist to the traditional concept of rock art. Rivol, a native American artist, was part of the Federal Art Project, a New Deal initiative under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) that provided employment opportunities for artists during the Great Depression. This artwork, along with many others produced during this period, is an important part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts. The artwork is a political statement, reflecting the artist's connection to her indigenous heritage and the importance of preserving and celebrating it. It also serves as a reminder of the deep history and cultural significance of the land that is now the United States. Today, "Petroglyph, 1935/1942" can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and complex history of American art and culture.
