Navajo Indian Folk Art by Renowned Artists
The playful nature of Navajo Indian folk art doesn’t mean isn’t made by serious artists. Well known Navajo Indian artists also venture out of their usual medium to create a folk art piece every once in a while.
Bertha Wood is a Navajo artist known for her whimsical folk art kachina dolls. While she carves each piece out of cottonwood like more traditional kachinas, Wood’s dolls are often created using several pieces glued together. Her dolls, like the fisherman koshari, are a more playful take on the more solemn traditional kachinas.
Navajo Life Turned into Folk Art
Navajo folk art consists of figurines usually carved out of wood that depict Navajo life and culture. Koshare clowns and exotic and farm animals are common figures. But they’re given a playful flare with their brightly colored paints.
Some of our most popular Navajo Indian folk art pieces depict horse-drawn wagons guided by a smiling Navajo driver. Occasionally automobiles also work their way into Navajo Indian folk art, as do skeleton banditos.
