EDITORS COMMENTS
Petroglyph, 1935/1942" is a captivating lithograph on paper by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol, showcasing a vibrant and intriguing depiction of Native American petroglyphs. Created during the 1930s and completed in the early 1940s, this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the deep connection between indigenous peoples and the natural world. Rivol, a prolific artist and designer, was an active participant in the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Art Project, which provided employment opportunities for artists during the Great Depression. This piece is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, folk arts, and fine arts compiled by the WPA between 1932 and 1942. Petroglyph, 1935/1942, is a multicolored masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of ancient rock art. The image features a series of human figures and animals, their outlines etched against a backdrop of rich, earthy colors. The human figures, with their elongated limbs and simplified forms, are reminiscent of the petroglyphs found in the American Southwest. The animals, including bison, elk, and birds, are depicted in dynamic poses, emphasizing their strength and agility. The artwork's title, "Petroglyph, 1935/1942," reflects the artist's interest in the ancient rock art of the Americas and her desire to preserve and celebrate this important aspect of Native American culture. The piece is a powerful reminder of the enduring connection between humans and the natural world, as well as the rich artistic traditions that have shaped the United States throughout history. Today, "Petroglyph, 1935/1942" is part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse artistic heritage of the United States.
