Robert Wesley Amick (1879–1969)
1925
Lithograph, signed, in original frame
Height 26 in. (66 cm), width 31½ in. (80 cm) including frame
Provenance: Private collection, Austin, TX
This signed lithograph titled Weavers depicts a group of Pueblo figures working at a loom beside a river, with a woven textile displaying geometric diamond patterning visible in the center of the composition. Robert Wesley Amick was a Colorado born illustrator and painter whose work appeared in Harper's Weekly and Century Magazine before he turned to fine art printmaking, and his Southwest subjects from the 1920s reflect the broad Anglo American engagement with Pueblo and Rio Grande cultures during that period. The warm tonal palette, descriptive figural treatment, and landscape setting are characteristic of his lithographic work from this period.
This print and the companion piece Pottery Makers (also offered) were produced in the same year and share the same dimensions and framing, suggesting they were issued or acquired as a pair. Amick's careful attention to the weaving equipment, figure grouping, and canyon landscape gives the composition an observational quality that distinguishes it from more romanticized treatments of similar subjects. From a private collection in Austin, Texas.
