San Ildefonso Painting Dance Procession with Koosa Clowns by Alfonso Roybal - C3874K
Category: Paintings | Posted by | Mon, Feb 27th 2017, 4:43pm
There are 53 figures in this painting, a monumental effort for a young artist of about 20 years old. It attests to the extraordinary talent of Alfonso Roybal (1898-1955) Awa Tsireh and his mastery of the watercolor medium. It is a typically two-dimensional painting but imparts a three-dimensional display. There is no ground plane, plants or elements in the sky, typical of all early pueblo paintings.
