Exhibition Label: "American Indian Art at the Spencer Museum," 6-Sep-2003 to 19-Oct-2003, Andrea Norris In addition to being the painter of his wife Maria’s pots, Julian Martinez was an easel painter as well. He was one of the leading artists in the early 20th-century development of a style of Native American art that became popular with tourists and European/American critics. With its simple silhouettes, flat colors, non-existent or limited backgrounds, and minimal figures, this style appealed to the modernist taste of critics at the same time they characterized it as specifically Native American. This and the three other pochoirs on view here are from a portfolio of 50 stencils after paintings by major American Indian artists, titled Pueblo Indian Painting: 50 Reproductions of Watercolor Paintings by Indian artists of the New Mexican Pueblos of San Ildefonso and Zia that was published in Nice, France by C. Szwedzicki in 1932.
