EDITORS COMMENTS
Petroglyph - Human Figures, 1935/1942" is a captivating lithograph on paper by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol, showcasing a collection of human figures inspired by ancient petroglyphs. This artwork, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America's indigenous peoples, was created during the 1930s and 1940s. Rivol, an influential figure in the American art scene, was known for her exploration of various artistic styles and themes, including the Native American experience. This piece, in particular, reflects her fascination with the ancient rock art found throughout the United States. The human figures depicted in this work are rendered in a multicolored, multi-hued palette, adding depth and vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic petroglyphs. The creation of this artwork was supported by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Art Project, part of the New Deal, which provided employment opportunities for artists during the Great Depression. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., now houses this significant piece in its extensive collection, showcasing the important role art played in preserving the country's cultural heritage during this time. Petroglyphs, a form of rock art, have been a part of human history for thousands of years. These engravings and paintings on rocks have been discovered across the world, including the Americas, and are believed to have been created by early homo sapiens as a means of recording history, expressing culture, and communicating ideas. Rivol's Petroglyph - Human Figures pays homage to this ancient art form while also showcasing her unique artistic vision. This artwork transcends the boundaries of time and place, serving as a powerful reminder of the enduring connection between humans and the natural world. Its inclusion in the Index of American Design further solidifies its importance in the annals of American art history.
