Robert Vale Faro Art

b. 1920

Robert Vale Faro was a modernist architect and artist associated with the Chicago Bauhaus. He received his degree in architecture and design from the Armour Institute in Chicago and worked at L'Ecole Des Beaux-arts, Paris, from 1924–27, where he was influenced by Harry Kurt Bieg and Le Corbusier. Upon his return to Chicago, Faro worked with the important modernist Chicago architects George and William Keck under Louis Sullivan. Faro founded the avant-garde printmaking group Vanguard in 1945. The group counted Atelier 17 artists Stanley William Hayter, Sue Fuller and Anne Ryan as New York members and Francine Felsenthal in Chicago. The Brooklyn Museum mounted a show of Vanguard artists' work in 1946, which subsequently toured several other institutions in the United States. Faro's visionary graphics from the 1940s are a sophisticated blend of Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, and Indian Space Painting, with a humorous, often satiric bent, perhaps serving the artist as an emotional counterpoint to Bauhaus Formalism. His work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art and the Seattle Art Museum.

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...
