About the Item
"Walpi #4" is an original semi-abstract Southwestern landscape by renowned 20th-century artist Bert Van Bork (1928-2014). This captivating watercolor and mixed media painting portrays the dramatic beauty of a Native American Pueblo village nestled on the mesa of First Mesa, Arizona. Van Bork skillfully uses vibrant hues of deep blue, yellow, orange, and pink to convey the cultural richness and natural splendor of the Hopi people. The piece features adobe structures set against the expansive desert sky, merging the artist’s unique style with his deep reverence for Native American heritage.
Presented in a custom white frame with archival materials and UV-protectant glass, the framed artwork measures 8 ½ x 10 ½ x ½ inches, with the image size being 4 ¾ x 7 inches.
Provenance: Estate of Bert Van Bork, Evanston, Illinois
About the Artist:
Bert Van Bork (1928-2014) was a German-born artist, filmmaker, photographer, and writer. Trained under Karl Schmidt-Rottluff in Berlin, he played a significant role in the post-war German art scene before immigrating to the U.S. in 1954. Known for his work as a printmaker and photographer, Van Bork's powerful documentary films earned global recognition, including an Academy Award nomination for EYEWITNESS, the Legacy of Death Camp Art (2000). His art primarily focused on the landscapes and cultural significance of Native American villages in the American Southwest. His works are held in prestigious collections, including the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin and the Neue Sächsische Gallery in Germany.
