"Canyon De Chelly" Watercolor by Famed Santa Fe Artist Howard Bobbs (aka Howard Bopst, American, 1910–1984)
This watercolor painting, titled "Canyon De Chelly," is a masterpiece by the renowned Santa Fe artist Howard Bobbs, also known as Howard Bopst. The work is framed in its original frame, measuring 36.75" x 28.75", with the visible portion of the painting measuring 28.75" x 20.75". The artwork is executed on paper and remains in pristine condition, free from any damage.
Howard Bobbs (1910-1984) was an influential figure in the New Mexico art scene, known for his exceptional landscape and Indian figure paintings, as well as his sculptures. He participated in notable exhibitions, including a group show of New Mexico WPA artists at the WIA art tea in Las Cruces, as reported by the Las Cruces Sun-News on October 27, 1946, and another group show of New Mexico painters at the Artists Alley Gallery in Santa Fe. His acclaim further grew with a solo exhibition at the Museum of New Mexico in 1948. In 1980, Bobbs' expertise in watercolor was celebrated in the book "New Mexico Watercolors by Howard Bobbs," which highlighted his mastery of the technique. His work frequently appeared in Southwest Art magazine during the 1950s and 60s, solidifying his national prominence as a painter of the Southwest.
"Canyon De Chelly" captures an iconic view of the White House Ruin, a cliff dwelling at Canyon de Chelly National Monument in northeastern Arizona. Bobbs' watercolor portrays the awe-inspiring grandeur and historic elegance of the ancient cave dwellings, encapsulating the essence of this significant cultural heritage site. The painting is signed by the artist at the bottom right, and the title and gallery stamp are visible in verso.
This piece is a must-have for any collector of important Southwestern art of anyone decoration there home or office with important period art from historic Southwest artists, as it embodies the timeless beauty and cultural significance of the region through the eyes of one of Santa Fe's celebrated 20th century artists.
