EDITORS COMMENTS
Petroglyph, 1935/1942" is a captivating lithograph on paper created by the American artist Lala Eve Rivol. This artwork, a product of the 1930s and 1940s, is a vibrant and intriguing representation of Native American rock art. Rivol, an artist known for her contributions to the Index of American Design, was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Art Project during the New Deal era to document and interpret American Indian art. The petroglyph depicted in this print is a stylized image of animals, likely inspired by the ancient rock art found throughout the United States. The animals, rendered in bold lines and vivid colors, seem to leap and dance across the page, inviting the viewer into the rich cultural heritage of Native American art. The title "Petroglyph" is a fitting one, as this artwork serves as a modern interpretation of the ancient rock carvings that have long been a source of fascination and wonder. The political and cultural significance of this artwork is multifaceted. At a time when Native American cultures were often marginalized and overlooked, Rivol's work helped to bring attention to the importance and value of indigenous art. Furthermore, the New Deal programs that supported artists like Rivol were instrumental in promoting American art and culture during a time of economic hardship. Today, "Petroglyph, 1935/1942" can be found in the collections of esteemed institutions such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork continues to serve as a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the past and the ongoing importance of preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.
