Navajo Boy by John W. Nieto
John W. Nieto's "Navajo" is a striking serigraph that captures the commanding presence of a young Navajo boy. This printer's proof, measuring 29.5" x 36.25", showcases Nieto's masterful blending of Southwestern heritage with contemporary artistic vision. The subject's penetrating gaze and traditional attire—vest and bandana—anchor the composition, while the artist's sophisticated color palette conveys both strength and emotion. Signed by the acclaimed American artist (1936-2018) and professionally framed, this is an exceptional addition to any serious art collection, offering both cultural significance and visual impact.
- The artwork is a limited edition serigraph (screenprint) on paper, signed and numbered by the artist.
- Nieto was known for his vibrant, intense use of color and bold strokes to depict Native American subjects in a symbolic and monumental style.
- Nieto called himself an American artist who painted Indians, not an Indian artist, and his work is exhibited worldwide.
