Patrick Swazo Hinds (Tesugue Pueblo, 1924-1974). "Eagle Dancers" stone lithograph on paper, 1972. Edition number 43/70. Hand-signed, numbered, and dated in pencil at the bottom. Patrick Swazo Hinds' "Eagle Dancers" is part of his Tesuque Pueblo portfolio. In this composition, Swazo Hinds presents a pair of Tewa Eagle Dancers engaged in swooping bird-like movements while wearing elaborate avian outfits replete with feathered "wings" and beaked headdresses as well as kilts trimmed with seashells that create a lively jingling sound as they dance. A captivating vision in a brilliant color palette of buttery yellow, cornflower blue, black, grey and white hues - replete with impressive artistry, style, and ethnographic meaning and symbolism. Size: 22" L x 30" W (55.9 cm x 76.2 cm) Size of frame: 30.875" L x 38.6" W (78.4 cm x 98 cm)
Pueblo peoples revere eagles and believe that they represent the links between the earthly world and the supernatural world. Their gift of soaring flight is thought to provide a means of delivering the requests, prayers, and thanks for what the katsinas have delivered.
Artist Biography: "Patrick Swazo Hinds was a renowned artist and painter whose work combined Native motifs with a modern style that became an expression of his heritage and culture. As a child, he was adopted and moved to California where he pursued his education in art. He attended Hill and Canyon School of Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico; California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland; Mexico City College; and the Art Institute of Chicago. He also served in the U.S. Marines during the Korean War, and later worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time artist. Over his lifetime, Swazo Hinds's works have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and are in the permanent collections of the Institute of American Indian Arts and the National Museum of the American Indian.
As an important person in the California art scene, Swazo Hinds departed from the traditional style and painted highly abstracted pieces that emphasized his connection to his Pueblo culture, which he visited every summer after his adoption. He stated, 'I have worked hard to learn to paint and now I have chosen to paint the Indian . . . and his religion and his culture as I understand it. I can paint an Indian as ugly as I want, because there is pain, there is sorrow, there is suffering. I can paint him beautiful, because that is there, too.'" (Autry Museum of the American West website)
