EDITORS COMMENTS
Petroglyph - Human Figures, 1935/1942" is a captivating lithograph on paper created by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol during the 1930s or 1940s. This vibrant and multicolored artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Americas, specifically focusing on the human figures found in Native American petroglyphs. Rivol, a prolific artist of the 20th century, was known for her exploration of various artistic mediums and themes. This particular piece showcases her interpretation of ancient rock art, specifically human figures, which were etched or painted onto rocks and boulders by indigenous peoples for various cultural and spiritual reasons. The artwork is a striking representation of the human form, with figures depicted in dynamic poses and adorned with intricate patterns and colors. The use of bold, bright hues adds a contemporary and almost abstract quality to the piece, while still maintaining a connection to the ancient origins of petroglyphs. Petroglyph - Human Figures was created during a pivotal time in American history, with the New Deal and Works Progress Administration (WPA) providing opportunities for artists to showcase their work and contribute to the country's cultural heritage. Rivol's artwork is a part of the Index of American Design, a significant collection of American decorative arts, folk art, and fine arts, which was compiled during the 1930s and 1940s. Today, this artwork can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The piece serves as a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the past, as well as the ongoing importance of preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.
