Plate 11 1940 - 1943

"Plate 11" is a woven textile by Louie H. Ewing, an American artist known for his intricate and colorful designs. The artwork features a geometric pattern with repeating diamonds, zigzags, and crosses in bold hues of red, white, blue, and gray. The artist's use of vibrant colors and repetitive elements suggests a connection to Native American textile traditions, particularly the Navajo weavings of the Southwest. The work, completed between 1940 and 1943, reflects the artist's interest in cultural aesthetics and his ability to reinterpret them through a contemporary lens.
