Neil David Sr. "Tewa Deer Dancers" Hand Signed & Numbered Art Etching MAKE OFFER

Description: Neil David, Sr., a Hopi-Tewa artist living in the village of Hano on First Mesa in Northern Arizona, was raised knowing artistic expression as a natural human activity. From his earliest years, Neil has loved nothing more than drawing and sculpting. Always recognized for his special gift, he stands out in a culture richly populated with talented individuals. Neil has not strayed from the ethos of his people, a fact evident in his art and life. Neil and his wife Dealva, have three sons and a daughter. Within the David family traditional Hopi values shape and mold every aspect of life. Speaking in their native tongue, the same unwritten history and legends from generations before are preserved. When combined with the visual experiences at hand, a lasting and believing attitude toward the Hopi way is engrained. Neil's children learn their culture more fully through art influenced by their father's talent. His art depicts Hopi ceremonial life: the stagelike settings of dwelling and plaza, the preparations for dance and the final manifestation of Kachinas, masked forms and visiting skydwellers in their villages. Neil's religious upbringing and participation has been and still is a constant source of inspiration for his art. ***See Our Other Ebay Auction to get FREE SHIPPING and Extra DISCOUNTS on some of the items !***
