Petroglyph - Animal
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph on paper created by Lala Eve Rivol in the mid-20th century, specifically between 1935 and 1942. This intriguing artwork is a vibrant blend of colors and animal motifs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of indigenous American art. Rivol, an American artist, drew inspiration from ancient petroglyphs, or rock art, which hold deep significance for many Native American communities. The artwork showcases a group of human figures, each adorned with animal features, suggesting a connection between humans and the natural world. The 1930s and 1940s were significant decades for American art, with various government initiatives supporting artists during the Great Depression and World War II. Rivol's "Petroglyph - Animal" was likely produced under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) or the National Youth Administration (NYA), two New Deal programs designed to provide employment opportunities for artists and other workers. This artwork is a testament to the political and social climate of the time, as well as the enduring influence of indigenous art on American culture. The multi-colored design is a striking example of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, which aimed to document and preserve the country's artistic heritage. Today, "Petroglyph - Animal" is a cherished piece in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., a renowned institution dedicated to showcasing and preserving the artistic legacy of the United States. The artwork continues to captivate audiences with its bold colors, intriguing concept, and connection to the rich history of American art and indigenous culture.
