David Dawangyumptewa "Morning Song" #21/35 Lithograph Framed Indian Maiden & Pot

Description: About David Dawangyumptewa, Hopi, Born 1957 As a Hopi artist of the Water Clan, David says he “would like to be thought of as a painter of mythical or spiritual subjects.” His magnificent paintings are distinguished by his use of jewel-like colors and Hopi symbolism. The style and content of Dawangyumptewa's work is reflective of his Hopi background and Water Clan affiliation. His work is abstracted variations on traditional water symbols, frogs, dragonflies and turtles. David Dawangyumptewa’s path to becoming an artist included stints as a stonemason, and lighting roadie for Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt. Raised on the Hopi reservation, Dawangyumptewa attended many schools including the Institute of American Indian Arts, Haskell Institute in Kansas, and Northern Arizona University. His art has been recognized with awards at the Museum of Northern Arizona, American Indian Heritage Foundation, and Santa Fe and Colorado Indian markets. While promoting his own art in museums and galleries around the country, Dawangyumptewa has expended great effort to bring art to the public via museum exhibit design, the founding of Flagstaff’s Festival of Arts, and high-profile arts advocacy throughout the state of Arizona. Dawangyumptewa had a stroke – one that sent him into a coma and damaged his right side. Although he could not hold a brush, a pen, or pencil, Dawangyumptewa woke up to the burning clear realization that he wanted to continue to be an artist. After being right-handed all his life, he picked up his pen in his left hand and began to teach himself how to do his careful, detailed, precise art with his left hand. “I wanted my old life back,” he says, “but I couldn’t have it, so I created a new life.” And so he did. A lithograph is defined as a style of printing that makes use of the immiscibility of grease and water when they come into contact with one another. While other printing methods require etching and other forms of imprints, lithography is unique because it more closely resembles painting. To create a lithograph, original works of art are printed and reproduced, most often using flat stones or metal plates. The artist makes the lithograph by drawing an image directly onto the printing element using materials like litho crayons or specialized greasy pencils.
