Description: Offered byAntique American Indian Art, LLC--- AAIA--- Navajo carving - Large Howling Dog Folk Art by Harrison Juan ca 1995 15" Large Howling Dog Folk Art in Clothing and Tie signed Harrison / Juan '98; Harrison Juan, Diné Navajo Nation, describes the inspiration for his innovative and distinctive current style as follows: "I was at an art show and I saw myself in the sunglasses of a collector, and I got the idea of carving people wearing glasses like that. I could capture their likeness and place them in their environment all at one time." Juan is a nephew of folk art artist Johnson Antonio and remembers cutting wood for his uncle and running errands for him. It was his influence that was the motivation for Juan to start carving. He works from cottonwood he finds along the creek beds of the San Juan River. It is his hope to work full time as an artist, but has found it necessary to work construction jobs as well. "I just try to keep it going," the artist explains, "showing the joys of reservation life and Navajo people at gatherings, ceremonies, and just the fun of friends being together at local posts. I carve the older people and show how they are dressed (wrapped in colorful trade blankets, sometimes called Pendleton's, and sporting their best jewelry)." Many are wearing his signature sunglasses. Captured in their reflection are groups of neighbors and friends and perhaps a glimpse of clear Western skies and surrounding scenery of the reservation. 5182-09Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc (AAIA) eBay Listings As the nation’s leading gallery of Antique North American Indian Art and Artifacts, we invite you to consider the beautiful art and artifacts that we list on eBay with full confidence in the authenticity and legality of the item, in the accuracy of the listing, and in the professionalism that we demonstrate in processing each transaction.
