| Paul Vigil (b.1932) is a member of the Tesuque Pueblo tribe, located near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He worked as a carpenter on the Navajo reservation before bringing his family home to the Tesuque Pueblo to re-establish a connection with the Pueblo traditions and the art he excelled in as a teenager. His watercolors of traditional Tewa dancers delineate the clothing and accessories with delicate brushwork, and his work feature geometric designs symbolic of corn, water, or Pueblo architecture. The Buffalo Dance is performed to honor the buffalo, ensure their propagation, and gain their cooperation and permission for the hunter to take what is needed for food and clothing. His artwork has been featured in Southwestern Indian Ceremonials by Tom Bahti, a magazine dedicated to Native American ceremonial traditions I have also some watercolor paintings by his son Virgil Vigil at my site for sale, stock number # 350, # 351, # 352 and # 353. Matted size of Buffalo Dancer is 10 inches by 8 inches. Watercolor painting is 5 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches. | ||
