About
Although best known for his work in fashion, Lloyd Kiva New was deeply involved in the arts world at large. In 1962, he cofounded the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and became a major influence in educating younger generations of Native artists.
Similar to his fashion designs, New’s two-dimensional works primarily featured geometric and abstract motifs. Summer Spirit / Winter Spirit features nonrepresentational faces that balance each other in expression and color, illustrating a coexistence of dual spirits.
