"Pueblos", Classic WPA-Era Mural Study with Native Americans for Los Angeles, CA
About the Item
This classic example of WPA-period mural painting, executed by Verona Burkhardt for the Immigration and Naturalization Center in Los Angeles, depicts five Pueblo Indians in the foreground and a magnificent landscape of canyons and Pueblo dwellings in the background. This served as a study for one of five large canvases she delivered to California in 1941 or 1942, but the building was cordoned off due to America's entrance into World War II. Burkhardt (or Burkhard) was the daughter of two important artists and was introduced to painting and crafts at an early age. In her prime, she won seven U.S. Government mural commissions in national competitions for buildings in Wyoming, Montana, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. She settled in Grand Junction, Colorado and was very active in the arts community there. The painting is oil on prepared board, and is well documented with labels and descriptive inscriptions on front and back. Dimensions include frame; visible painting is 10.75 inches high by 26 inches wide.
