Clouds Over Monument Valley 1980

"Clouds Over Monument Valley" (1980) by David Chethlahe Paladin depicts a stylized Native American figure silhouetted against a vibrant purple and blue landscape. The figure, adorned with traditional clothing and headdress, holds a flute and dances in a gesture of reverence towards the sky. The background evokes the iconic Monument Valley landscape, its distinctive rock formations subtly rendered against a backdrop of swirling clouds and glowing stars. This artwork showcases Paladin's distinctive style, combining Navajo imagery with bold color and flat planes to create a powerful and evocative vision.
