Alfonso Roybal (1898-1955) Awa Tsireh was painting before 1917, while he was still just a teenager. He was the oldest of the early group of pueblo painters. His formal education had not extended beyond primary grades. He was versatile in his styles of painting in that he was equally comfortable with representational or semi-realistic. The majority of his early work is in the Santa Fe Indian School two-dimensional style. Most of these flat-style pieces depict single figures.
