About the Artist, Hilaire Hiler:
Hilaire Hiler was an influential New Mexico artist known for his modernist style and exploration of Native American subjects. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hiler studied at prestigious art institutions such as the University of Paris and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before moving to Paris in 1919.

In 1934, he returned to America, where he was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to create murals for the Aquatic Park Bath House in San Francisco. He continued working in a semi-abstract style, focusing on Native American themes and integrating color theory into his later works. In the 1940s, Hiler founded Fremont College in Los Angeles and developed a movement called "Structuralism", emphasizing the scientific analysis of color-form.
