Since 1940, and throughout the war, many foreign volunteers chose to work in Germany, whether for ideological reasons or, more often, for wages or even the release of close prisoners. But from March 1942 onwards, the Nazi government launched a vast policy designed to bring about an influx of labor on its soil. Indeed, due to the ever-increasing need for men in the army, the mines, industry and agriculture lacked the manpower to support the war effort. As a prime target for this search, Vichy France...

Corn Kachina, by Riley Sunrise, Quoyavema, Hopi, Kachina, Dancer, painting Artist Signature - Riley Sunrise (1914-2006) Quoyavema “Another of the earlier Hopi artists, Riley Sunrise (Quoyavema) worked with Fred Kabotie and Waldo Mootzka in illustrating John Louw Nelson’s Rhythm for Rain. He is also known as Quoyavema or Kwayeshva, according to Nelson. His paintings are comparable to Fred Kabotie’s, with some of them showing more action and most of them revealing less detail.

Untitled (Aztec heads in profile) A Prelimimary Study for a Mural watercolor, goucahe, ink and colored pencil on paper, 1943-1946 Unsigned Provenance: Estate of the Artist Kiriki Metzo (his daughter) Fletcher Gallery (her agent) Inspired by the artist's trip to ancient Aztec Mexico with fellow surrealist artist Carlos Merida (1891-1985) Influence of Carlos Merida interaction with de Diego How Carlos Mérida's Mayan-inspired modernism and Mexican folk motifs specifically transformed Julio de Diego's surrealist compositions and color palette in the 1940s Carlos Mérida’s Mayan inspired modernism pushed Julio de Diego’s 1940s surrealism away from purely European, dream like imagery toward hybrid, flatter, more patterned compositions built from stylized “Mexican” motifs, while situating his use of color within the vibrant, abstract field and pattern approach associated with modernized Mayan art—even though surviving texts describe Mérida’s palette much more explicitly than de Diego’s. Mérida’s Mayan modernism: form and color • Mérida is described as a key modernist who fused Surrealism, Cubism, muralism and European abstraction with pre Columbian Mayan...
