This lithograph is beautiful. Original Lithograph on fine rag paper, signed and numbered 89 of 100, by American Artist, Louis De Mayo, born 1926, Original Print, Size: 17" X 30",Phoenix artist, De Mayo, indeed has his own tale to tell. What bold, daring and controlled simplicity fill his canvases come from a personal selection of activities that the artist has witnessed in his expeditions to the Indian reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. Noble Indian women are engaged in daily tasks or stand casually before the geometric expanse of a woven rug. The males are dramatically arranged whether individually, in pairs, or larger groups, their great forms filling the picture surface with energy and vital presence. In motion or at rest, these figures are adorned with colorful and exotic ornaments and ritual objects...masks, fringed belts, beaded necklaces. Because De Mayo professes to portray a strong sense of isolation in all his paintings, it is not difficult to project further meaning here that relates to the cultural. Says De Mayo, "it is the social issue of the isolation of the Indian from the mainstream of American life. Always a struggle to maintain the traditions." De Mayo has a strong emotional attraction to the Yaqui and their black garb. He grew up seeing women in black. He is Italian and his people too are dark skinned. A strong sense of roots, his own and that of the Indian. De Mayo emphasizes the importance of good design and subtlety of suggestion rather than explicit photo-realism. Details are kept to a minimum and the viewer's imagination quickly fills in the missing information so that the lively figures appear lifelike and credible. Source: Southwest Art .   « Less

Almost all the paintings by this artist, born at Changshu (Jiangsu Province)1669, died 1732 --also written Jiang Ting-xi or Tsiang Song --are in Imperial collections, as he was called to an important post at an early age and from that time painted only occasionally, and then only for the ruler. Bearing the surname Yangsun, he worked under the names of Youjun, Xigu and Nansha, and was famous for his rendering of flowers, such as the magnificent ones surrounding the feng-huang (phoenix) here. He was the teacher of Ma Yi. Examples of this artist's work are very rare outside of China. In America they can be found at the Metropolitan Museum (New York City) and the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston).
