Daniel Stolpe Prints and Multiples

American, 1939-2018
Daniel Owen Stolpe (November 14, 1939 – December 12, 2018) was an American artist, painter, sculptor, printmaker, fine artist book publisher, poetry book illustrator, and founder of Native Images Editions, Santa Cruz, California. Life and Work Dan Stolpe devoted his entire life to exploring the traditional spiritual and aesthetic culture of Native Americans and bringing that tradition to renewed contemporary expression in dramatic and expressive monotypes, woodcuts, serigraphs, etchings, and paintings. His work helped bridge the Indian and non-Indian worlds and the false divisions among the human and natural. As a student in the early 1960s at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, he met and studied under artist, teacher, and printmaker Don La Viere Turner and art history professor Lennox Tierney. Stolpe eventually left college to apprentice under Turner, where he learned the art of creating and printing intaglios and woodcuts. In 1963 Stolpe and Herb Fox opened Montecito Press in Sierra Madre, California. During this time Stolpe printed intaglios and woodcuts using a combination press of his own design. Two graduates of Tamarind Printmaking Workshop in Hollywood, California, Joe Funk and Joe Zerker, heard about Stolpe's press and came to see it. Those two master printers then created their own business, called Joseph Press in Venice, California, and obtained a press designed and built by Stolpe. Over time Funk became Stolpe's mentor and friend, and it was with Funk that Stolpe learned the elements and fine art of creating and printing lithographs. In 1979, the two men founded a printmaking studio: Native Images Inc. in Santa Cruz, California. Stolpe was associated with artists such as Don LaViere Turner, Leonard Edmondson, Dutch artist Nic Jonk, James Joe, and Ambrose Teasawito. He contributed his own artwork to notable publications, such as William Everson's "Canticle to the Waterbirds," and William Shipley's translations of Maidu Indian myths recounted around 1900 by Maidu storyteller Hanc'Ibyjim to Harvard University anthropologist and linguist Roland Dixon and published as Love and Death by Native Images in 2004. Over the span of 20 years, Stolpe exhibited internationally in Japan, Spain, Oaxaca, Mexico, and Mexico City. He worked with master printer Raul Soruco and displayed his art at Soruco's Galeria Gràfica in Oxaca from 1994 to 1996. Stolpe's works are represented in many collections, including the Fogg Art Museum, the Grunwald Collection at UCLA, the Portland Art Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution. The Special Collections Library at the University of California at Santa Cruz has an endowment and an archive dedicated to the collection of Stolpe's art. Stolpe lived most of his life in the United States, except for a few years in Canada and two years spent with the Native American Swinomish Tribe on their reservation in the state of Washington. He resided in Santa Cruz, California starting in 1975. Stolpe died on December 12, 2018 in Santa Cruz, California.

Vibrant print of a coyote by Daniel Stolpe (American, 1939-2018). Titled, numbered ("Presentation Proof"), signed and dated along bottom edge. Presented in a black frame with a double mat. Sheet on verso with information about the piece, stating that only 5 Presentation Proofs were created, making this piece 1 of 5. Paper size: 24"H x 28"W. (2018) Master artist and Native Images lithographer Dan "Coyote" Stolpe slipped out of his non-functioning body, and is running free at last and howling in the hills. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dan's father introduced him to Native American teachers of Art and Culture through the Woodcraft Rangers, who influenced Dan for the rest of his life. "Everything was patterned after a tribal structure," Stolpe said. We learned about Indian life and lore and we had Indian guys teach us how to make Indian costumes and about Indian dance and drums. That's what got me interested." Dan made his first drum when he was 14, and he was quietly playing that same drum during his final days of life. Stolpe attended LA Co. Art Institute (OTIS) on scholarship until 1962, when he dropped out to Apprentice with artist Don La Viere Turner in Glendora, and then with Master Printer Joe Funk in Venice until 1966. Commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute, he moved to Washington DC to illustrate extinct birds...
