Petroglyphs 1935 - 1942

"Petroglyphs," a 1935-1942 lithograph by Lala Eve Rivol (1913-1996), depicts a stylized, anthropomorphic figure against a background of swirling, geometric shapes. The figure, rendered in black, is surrounded by red and black circles, as well as jagged lines that evoke the feel of ancient rock carvings. The artwork's title and imagery suggest a connection to Native American cultures and the artist's interest in ancient symbolism. The use of strong lines and bold colors creates a sense of power and mystery, drawing the viewer into the intricate details of the work.
