Original Painting Diné (Navajo) of an Enchanted Forest [SOLD]

Beatien Yazz was a very talented artist. Collectors are familiar with his style of paintings reflecting on everyday life on the Navajo Reservation in which he generally featured young Navajo boys and girls going about their routine duties or his scenes of animals such as deer and horses.

Less familiar are his most delicate renditions of scenes such as this one that we have called an enchanted forest. His treatment of the trees is delicate in presentation and they are enhanced by several birds and owls. His use of colors in the warm spectrum further adds to the delicacy of the work.

The painting was most probably painted in the 1960s. It is beautifully framed using a wood frame and all acid-free materials. It is in original excellent condition.

Provenance: This painting is among a collection from the Balcomb family, formerly owners of an art gallery which they closed in 1976.
