Vintage Lorenzo De La Rosa, 24" x 24”, Shamanic Scene, Huichol Yarn Painting

Description: Lorenzo De La Rosa, Huichol yarn painting on wood board of a Shamanic ceremony, signed by the artist. The artwork utilizes sacred designs and patterns, to reference the artist’s peyote vision. You can see the shaman wearing antlers and holding two snakes at the top of the painting, orchestrating the peyote ceremony. At the two bottom corners are singers playing drums. The artwork is entitled "La Puerta" (The Door). Approx. 24" x 24” (91cm x 61cm). In extremely good condition. This masterpiece was made in the mid-60s following the traditional method of using yarn mounted with beeswax on plywood. On the back of the artwork, De La Rosa wrote by hand in a mix of Spanish and Huichol the description and the meaning of his peyote trip and signed his artwork as “Lorenzo De La Rosa Evangelista". In Spanish the text roughly says: “Este cuadro tiene significado de una puerta que esa puerta nosotros nombramos el Janie Quitenie donde todo el cantador que sabe aser la fiesta del tambor arabe donde es eso y el que no sabe lo ignora que ahi esa puerta y en esa puerta hay muchos animales y elementos malos que pueden causar mal y al cantador que pase por ai.” A rough translation in English would be: “This painting represents a door that we name the janie quitenie where all the singers who know how to perform the drum festival, who know where it is, and those who do not know and ignore it, and in that door there are many animals and bad elements that can cause harm to the singer who passes through." De La Rosa is one of the pioneers of the early classic Huichol yarn painting and weaving. The Huichol or Wixárika are an indigenous people of Mexico and the United States famous for making yarn artwork on board depicting various phases of their lives and prayers where they incorporate symbols and references to planting, harvesting and peyote. They mostly come from the Sierra Madre occidental range in the Mexican states of Durango, Jalisco, Nayarit, and Zacatecas. The Huichol also live in the United States, in the states of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.
