- Lot Description
Native American, North America, New Mexico, Sky City, Acoma Pueblo, ca. 1930 CE. Large and unusual pottery olla from the most famous of all Acoma potters - Lucy M. Lewis. Polychrome jar in shades of brick red, cream and dark brown in three registers. Top and bottom fineline arrow patterns in the style made famous by Lucy and since used by many Acoma artists. Central band of birds, best guess is roadrunners, a bird found throughout the southwest. Bottom concave with signature "Lucy M. Lewis, Acoma" in black pen and two indiscernible initials in pencil. Lewis was born between 1890 and 1898 in the New Mexico Territory and died March 12, 1992. Size: 11.25" W x 10" H (28.6 cm x 25.4 cm)
Lewis' designs were inspired by the pottery of their ancient ancestors, the Anasazi. She made pottery using traditional coiling methods and was mostly self-taught and her art natural and innate. Her works grace museums across the world and she has been compared to Jackson Pollock and Pablo Picasso for her innovations. She was invited to the Whitehouse in 1983 and was awarded the Governor's Award of New Mexico for her contributions to the world of art.
