Small Black and White Diné (Navajo) Painting of a Doe [SOLD]

Yazz was a keen observer of the animals on the reservation. He was able to take a visual snapshot of animal activities and then commit those images to paint and paper. The Navajo Reservation is a very large reservation and very sparsely populated, leaving much land for the animals to enjoy without interruption from man. In this painting, a doe is caught in a moment of looking up at the bird flying overhead.

There is a companion to this painting that is the same subject, facing East rather than West. They make a beautiful set when hung together. It is our Item #C2986F.

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