About the Item

Ascending from the depths of darkness a Navajo shaman led the artists to this secret sacred location. There once the sun began to rise the artists experienced ancient wisdom from worlds beyond space and time. The shadow bridge, simultaneously ephemeral and monumental, overwhelms not just by its beauty but by its fragility amid majestic buttes. This close encounter with the beyond at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, found in the red-sand desert on the border of Arizona and Utah within the Navajo Nation reservation, is a portal to spiritual guidance. The artists used their original artists process, known as Metalagram®, to achieve the illusion of 3D on 2D aluminum sheet metal for this work. Developed at the intersection of art + science the artists used old world techniques + 21st century technology to sculpturally create in layers. The Metalagram® work appears differently from 180 degree vantage points at varying angles of incidence. Photons dance across the hand cut aluminum creating visual delights. This work was made in the artists' studio in the former Moross House Museum, the oldest brick dwelling in Detroit, MI, circa 1840.

'Navajo Reservation Landscape' — Southwest Regionalism
By Ira Moskowitz
Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
Ira Moskowitz, 'Navajo Reservation Landscape', lithograph, 1945, edition c. 30. Signed and titled in pencil. Signed and dated in the stone, lower left. A fine, richly-inked impression, on cream wove paper, the full sheet with margins (1 3/8 to 2 inches), in excellent condition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. Image size 12 3/4 x 15 3/4 inches (324 x 400 mm); sheet size: 15 1/2 x 19 inches (394 x 482 mm). ABOUT THE ARTIST Ira Moskowitz was born in Galicia, Poland, in 1912, emigrating with his family to New York in 1927. He enrolled at the Art Student's League and studied there from 1928-31. In 1935, Moskowitz traveled to Paris and then lived until 1937 in what is now Israel. He returned to the United States in 1938 to marry artist Anna Barry in New York. The couple soon visited Taos and Santa Fe in New Mexico, returning for extended periods until 1944, when they moved there permanently, staying until 1949. During this especially productive New Mexico period, Moskowitz received a Guggenheim fellowship. His work was inspired by the New Mexico landscape and the state’s three cultures (American Southwest, Native American, and Mexican). He focused on Pueblo and Navajo life, producing an extensive oeuvre of authentic American Indian imagery. He and Anna also visited and sketched across the border in Old Mexico. While in the Southwest, Moskowitz flourished as a printmaker while continuing to produce oils and watercolors. Over 100 of Moskowitz’s works depicting Native American ceremonies were used to illustrate the book American Indian Ceremonial Dances by John Collier, Crown Publishers, New York, 1972. After leaving the Southwest, printmaking remained an essential medium for the artist while his focus changed to subject matter celebrating Judaic religious life and customs. These works were well received early on, and Moskowitz was content to stay with them the rest of his life. From 1963 until 1966, Moskowitz lived in Paris, returning to New York City in 1967, where he made his permanent home until he died in 2001. Shortly before his death, Zaplin-Lampert Gallery of Santa Fe staged an exhibition of the artist's works, December 2000 - January 2001. Other one-person shows included the 8th Street Playhouse, New York, 1934; Houston Museum, 1941; and the San Antonio Museum, 1941. The artist’s work was included in exhibitions at the Art Students League, Art Institute of Chicago, Philadelphia Print Club, College Art Association (promotes excellence in scholarship and teaching), and the International Exhibition of Graphic Arts (shown at MOMA, 1955). Moskowitz’s lithographs of American Indian...
