Dan Namingha Acrylic on Paper, 1991 - “Butterfly Maiden”
About the Item
Acrylic on paper by well known Hopi-Tewa artist Dan Namingha (b. 1950).
The work is a wonderful example of Namingha’s iconic style.
It was created 1991 and is signed “Namingha” lower left.
This painting measures 8"h x 6"w. The frame is 18"h x 15 3/4"w.
It is titled on the verso “Butterfly Maiden” and is in excellent condition.
Namingha was born in 1950 in Keams Canyon, Arizona. He is the son of Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo, and he was raised on the Hopi Reservation. He studied art at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, and The American Academy of Art in Chicago. He first showed his work in 1972 and has since participated in over 50 exhibitions. Originally, he was a realistic painter but began to paint in more abstract ways after 1972. He credits Otellie Loloma with encouraging him in this.
Namingha, of Hopi-Tewa ancestry, paints and sculpts the imagery of his homeland and his peoples, always with the integrity instilled in him by that depth of belief and love of spirit. Drawing and painting was a natural part of his Hopi childhood. It gave him a way to express his strong feelings about the culture and environment leading to a path of creative freedom.
His work is in the collections of The National Museum of the American Indian in New York, The Tucson Museum of Art, The Denver Art Museum, and The Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles.
