About the Item
This depiction of two Native American men in full headdresses, dancing in the company of three women, arm in arm, is evidence of Western Europe's fascination with American Indian culture, dress and way of life. The artist, Jean Target, uses a vivid mix of watercolor, gouache and crayon in brilliant tones of red, tan and brown. Target, a young man in the 1930s, loved to capture the color and movement of ballet and native dance and this piece is one of several offered by Renaissance Man. The drawing is signed in the lower righthand corner.

"Pueblos", Classic WPA-Era Mural Study with Native Americans for Los Angeles, CA
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This classic example of WPA-period mural painting, executed by Verona Burkhardt for the Immigration and Naturalization Center in Los Angeles, depicts five Pueblo Indians in the foreground and a magnificent landscape of canyons and Pueblo dwellings in the background. This served as a study for one of five large canvases she delivered to California in 1941 or 1942, but the building was cordoned off due to America's entrance into World War II. Burkhardt (or Burkhard) was the daughter of two important artists and was introduced to painting and crafts at an early age. In her prime, she won seven U.S. Government mural commissions in national competitions for buildings in Wyoming, Montana, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. She settled in Grand Junction...
