Santa Clara Pueblo Original Painting “Two Coyotes” [SOLD]

Helen Hardin, from the very beginning of her career, was at the cutting edge of Indian-influenced art. Her art, though obviously drawing on her Indian heritage and tradition, was very much in the mainstream of modern aesthetics. This fine acrylic painting on artist board is signed in lower right but not dated.

The painting is of a pair of coyotes and is a work exhibiting exceptional drafting skills and superlative technical rendering. It is quite exceptional and striking, as the work of Helen Hardin tends to be, with a true sense of the complexities and intricacies involved in the creation of such a work.

Condition: original excellent condition

Provenance: from a collector of Native paintings in Albuquerque
