Presentation Transcript

  1. John Nieto (1936-2018), an accomplished artist, is known for his skill as a colorist and his distinct exploration of indigenous subject matter.  Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Nieto's surroundings greatly influenced his artistic journey.  His mastery of color, strong line, bold fields of paint, and vibrant, expressive brushwork became defining characteristics of his work.  He concentrated on themes that have no limit in deeper meanings. He painted saturated and vivid portraits of people and animals.

  2. Set apart by his ability to bridge cultural divides and foster appreciation for diverse subjects, Nieto’s art blends Native American, Hispanic, and Western influences to highlight spaces of complication and overlap and to demonstrate the “humanity and dignity” of Native America.  By emphasizing the importance of cultural preservation and understanding, Nieto's paintings encourage dialogue around the natural world and indigenous history. 

  3. Throughout his career, Nieto received numerous awards and recognition.  In 1985, he was honored with the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, solidifying his position in the artistic landscape.  His works have been exhibited in renowned galleries and museums worldwide, including the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.

  4. In 1981, Nieto was invited to participate in the “Salon d’Autumn” at the Grand Palais in Paris; in 1989 he mounted a one-man show at the Axis Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.  Nieto's unique style and command of color continue to captivate audiences.
