Arizona artist Louis de Mayo (1926-2016) is a contemporary painter of the American Indian who uses very little detail to let the viewer’s imagination run. “The features in my figures are usually obscured and lack individual identity. They become generic, lost and out of place in contemporary landscapes. In contrast to the current mode of dress, they seem baroque; artifacts reminiscent of an age gone by when the world was not mechanized. Perhaps symbolic of the haunting disquiet that afflicts us all and will persist into the space age.”
