Petroglyph, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph on paper created by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol during the 1930s or 1940s. This intriguing artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Americas and the artistic innovation of the 20th century. The image features a series of human figures, each with their unique and expressive petroglyph-like signs adorning their bodies. These figures, reminiscent of ancient rock art, are depicted in bold, vibrant colors against a plain background. The use of color adds depth and energy to the piece, making it a visual feast for the eyes. Rivol, a native American artist, drew inspiration from the indigenous rock art of her homeland. Her work reflects the deep connection between humans and the natural world, as well as the importance of cultural traditions and symbols. The title "Petroglyph" refers to the ancient rock carvings and engravings created by humans, often depicting figures, animals, or abstract designs. This artwork is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts produced between 1600 and 1875, as well as the Works Progress Administration (WPA) collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The WPA was a New Deal program established during the Great Depression to provide employment for artists, writers, and other professionals. Petroglyph, 1935/1942, is a powerful political statement about the importance of preserving and celebrating America's diverse cultural heritage. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing influence of indigenous art on contemporary art and design. This piece continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of the past and the enduring power of human creativity.
