**First Time At Auction**
Louie H. Ewing (American, 1908-1983). Guadalupe. Gouache on paper. Titled and signed below. A retablo-inspired depiction of the crowned Virgin of Guadalupe, pencil signed in lower right margin by the noted Santa Fe artist Louie Ewing. Ewing is best known for introducing silkscreen prints to the Southwest encouraged by the WPA in the 1930's; however, this composition is actually painted in gouache on paper. Guadalupe stands with hands together in a prayerful gesture, with a soft oval visage, and lowered eyes, surrounded by golden rays, standing upon a crescent moon held by a cherub with outspread colorful wings. Set in a double mat and frame under glass. Size of painting: 7.3" W x 12" H (18.5 cm x 30.5 cm); frame: 12" W x 16.5" H (30.5 cm x 41.9 cm)
The miraculous appearance of the Virgin Mary to the native Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac in December 1531 was pivotal in the conversion of native peoples. Mary asked that a church be erected over the site of her appearance, just outside the Mexican capital. Juan Diego in turn presented a cloak full of roses that she had given him for the bishop, and her request was granted. This cloak or tilma which was miraculously imprinted with her image is currently in the basilica of Guadalupe and is the model for depictions of N. S. de Guadalupe.
Ewing was born in Idaho and after art training in California, he moved to Santa Fe in 1935, where he became especially well known for his prints, though he did work in other media as we see with this painting. Most of his compositions capture familiar landscapes and sights of the Southwest, or, saints and other religious imagery derived from Spanish New Mexico folk art.
Provenance: ex-Komer Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired ca. 1965
