Gerald Nailor (1917-1952) - Vintage Navajo Silkscreen - Bob White Quail Bird

Description

Item Description
:
This original silkscreen print was done by well known Native American Navajo artist Gerald Nailor (1917-1952) and published by the Tewa Enterprizes. This was done by Gerald in 1951. It shows wonderful detail with three delicate blades of grass arching high behind the quail and 3 stylized yei bringing rain or blessing.
This print measures 12" by 10" within the mat. And, with frame, it measures 19 1/4" by 16 3/4". The print is covered with what feels to be plexiglass and is framed with a simple wooden frame. The frame has some nicks and scratches. The silkscreen print is in very good condition.
Gerald exhibited at the Museum of New Mexico, the Denver Art Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Philbrook Institute, and the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial. He illustrated a number of books for the Indian Service and his murals decorate the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, Mesa Verde National Park, and the Navajo Council House in Window Rock, Arizona.
**Note:  See my eBay store for a similar silkscreen (wings down instead of raised) of a Bob White Quail done by Gerald and framed with the same wooden frame.  They would make a great set.**
