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 showcases a collection of animal figures and human figures interacting with each other against a backdrop of abstract, rocky terrain, reminiscent of ancient petroglyphs. Rivol, a native American artist, drew inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of her homeland, incorporating elements of indigenous rock art into her modern design. The image is a testament to the enduring connection between humans and nature, as well as the political and cultural significance of preserving and celebrating indigenous art. This artwork was produced during the Depression era in the United States, when the Federal Art Project, a New Deal initiative under the Works Progress Administration (WPA), provided employment opportunities for artists. Rivol's "Petroglyph" is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts produced between 1600 and 1875, as well as contemporary American art. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this striking piece, which is a vibrant addition to their extensive collection of American art from the 20th century. The use of bold colors and dynamic shapes in "Petroglyph" makes it a standout piece, not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit. The image invites viewers to explore the depth and complexity of American art and the rich cultural heritage it represents. Overall, "Petroglyph, 1935/1942" by Lala Eve Rivol is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic traditions of the past while also pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. This artwork continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a cherished addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection and a significant contribution to the history of American art.
