About
While 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, becoming a major influence in educating generations of Native artists.
Similar to his fashion designs, New’s paintings primarily featured geometric and abstract motifs. In this painting, New used bold colors and wide horizontal bands to suggest dimension, ultimately creating a landscape that defies definition.
