- Lot Description
Julian Robles (American, b. 1933). "Navajo Boy" pastel, ca. 1978. Signed "Julian Robles Taos" on the lower left. A striking pastel portrait of a Navajo boy by Julian Robles, one of the founding members of the Taos Six. The endearing boy sits in a playful manner as sunlight dapples over his shiny black hair, gripping the moccasins on his feet and looking askance toward his upper left. In addition to the moccasins, he wears a russet shirt, white pants, and traditional Navajo turquoise and silver jewelry - cuff bracelets adorning his wrists and a long beaded necklace. Size: 22.375" L x 16" W (56.8 cm x 40.6 cm)
Julian Robles was born in the Bronx in New York City, studied art at the Pratt Institute, and became an illustrator for the U.S. Air Force during the 1950s. During these years he had several posts in the American West that informed his decision to move to Taos, New Mexico in 1968. Following his years of service, Robles studied at the Arts Student League as well as the National Academy of Design in New York until he moved to Taos. Robles was a founding member of the Taos Six - joined by Walt Gonske, Rod Goebel, Ray Vinella, Ron Barsano, and Robert Daughters. His artistic mission has been to visually record the indigenous Pueblo Indians and their rituals. Robles has won numerous awards for his oil paintings, pastels, and woodblock prints. Among these honors was the gold medal of the Webber-Costello Award for portrait painting at the National Pastel Society Show, New York, in 1985; several invitations and awards at invitational shows at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the National Western Artists show in Lubbock, Texas.
