Pueblo Indian Portfolio Image #2 [SOLD]

Between 1929 and 1952, C. Szwedzicki, a publisher in Nice, France, produced six portfolios of North American Indian art. American Scholars Oscar Brousse Jacobson, Hartley Burr Alexander and Kenneth Milton Chapman edited the publications. Many of the images were published as pochoir prints which are similar in appearance to silkscreen prints. These works represent original works by 20^th Century American Indian artists.

One of the portfolios was “Pueblo Indian Painting: 50 Reproductions of Watercolor Paintings by Indian Artists of the New Mexican Pueblos of San Ildefonso and Sia”. It was published in 1932.

This image, plate #2, shows a single female dancer with no background or ground plane. She is holding feather pahos in both hands and wears a feather bustle in her hair. The image is signed Julian Martinez.

This image is in very good condition. There is some loss of paper on the upper right edge of the paper. Proper matting and framing will conceal the edges. This image is framed. Copyright by C. Szwedzicki. 1932 appears on verso.
