Description: A PAIR of color prints, from 1982, "Flower at Giverny #1" numbered 83/120,and "Flower at Giverny #2", numbered 89/120, both pencil signed at lower right margin, by the famous Native American contemporary artist FRITZ SCHOLDER (1937-2005). Scholder was arguably the best known and influential Native American artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He was 1/4 Luiseno (California Mission) Indian and part German, and as a result of his mixed heritage, found himself uniquely positioned to comment on it through art. His family moved to Sacramento in the mid 1950's and he was soon enrolling at Sacramento State, where Wayne Thiebaud was one of his teachers, introducing him to Pop Art. Thiebaud also helped him launch his first solo exhibition. Over subsequent years, Scholder developed his own distinct style, mixing the contemporary with Pop Art with Southwestern imagery and culture; his vision was a fascinating mix of cultures and artistic movements. He himself became influential over another generation of artists, through his teaching at the Institute of American Indian Arts at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Later in life he traveled extensively, including Egypt and North Africa. Scholder created his first etching in 1975. These prints are technically etchings. Both are in excellent condition. ***The Plexi on both has some scratches and imperfections which have cast roughly circular small shadows on the paper, but those imperfections are only on the Plexi.*** The prints are each approximately 30" by 22" (sheet) and as framed they are 39" by 31". Both have Certificates of Authenticity from Martin Lawrence Galleries on the backing.
