Pueblo Paintings from the Frank Waters Estate
The Millicent Rogers Museum recently received a large donation of artworks from the Frank Waters estate, such as the Awa Tsireh painting pictured above. Awa Tsireh’s work was highly influential to the Pueblo painting style taught during the early years of the Santa Fe Indian School, and demonstrates elements of both the painted designs on San Ildefonso polychrome pottery and the bold color and repetitive geometric motifs of Art Deco. This painting, and many others, will be available for auction at our upcoming Turquoise Gala, which will be held on August 20that the beautiful Sagebrush Inn in Taos.
