About the Item

This original 1978 gouache on paper by celebrated artist Wolfgang Pogzeba (1936–1982) captures the dramatic beauty of Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. The composition depicts a cliffside adobe home set against the rugged desert landscape, rendered with Pogzeba’s signature blend of precision and painterly elegance. Richly detailed, the painting conveys both the architectural charm of the historic pueblo and the expansive, sun-drenched terrain of the surrounding New Mexico desert. Professionally presented in a custom hardwood frame, the artwork’s outer dimensions are 22 ⅜ x 25 inches, with an image size of 12 x 15 inches, making it a perfect addition to collections of Southwestern art or modernist American landscapes. The piece is held in excellent condition, maintaining its vibrant colors and fine detail. About the Artist: Born in Planegg, Bavaria, Germany, Pogzeba moved to the United States in 1948 and settled in Denver. Trained in engineering, architecture, and fine arts—including studies at the Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado, and the Kunstakademie in Munich—he later worked and studied in Paris, Mexico City, and Taos, New Mexico. A pioneer of abstract realism, Pogzeba merged technical skill with a deep appreciation for the natural world. His work is held in prestigious institutions such as the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center and the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. This gouache exemplifies Pogzeba’s ability to fuse precision, abstraction, and the timeless allure of the American Southwest.
