Hilaire Hiler 1934 WPA Era Color Serigraph – Native American Fox Costume Art
By Hilaire Hiler
Located in Denver, CO
This vibrant 1934 vintage color serigraph (silkscreen print) by acclaimed artist Hilaire Hiler (1898–1966) depicts a stylized Native American figure dressed in a fox costume holding a bow, featuring a bold feather headdress and striking contrasts of black, red, and white. Created during the influential WPA era, this modernist print reflects Hiler’s semi-abstract approach to Native American themes, blending cultural symbolism with avant-garde color theory.
Signed in pencil by Hiler in the lower right margin and titled on the verso, this serigraph is a rare and evocative example of early 20th-century American modernism.
About Hilaire Hiler:
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hiler studied at the University of Paris and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before immersing himself in the European avant-garde scene. He supported his art career by performing as a jazz musician in Paris.
Returning to the U.S. in 1934, Hiler contributed murals to the WPA Aquatic Park...
