    Amado M. Pena Jr. Lithograph "Los Seis"

    Est: $200 - $300

    Amado Maurilio Pena, Jr. (Mexican-American, b. 1943). "Los Seis" lithograph, n.d. Edition 25 of 65. Hand-signed at lower right, titled at lower center, and numbered at lower left. Blind stamps at lower right and left.. A spare, contemplative lithograph by Amado Maurilio Pena Jr. titled "Los Seis." Six figures emerge in profile along the left edge of the sheet, draped in serape-like garments whose graphite-rich folds cascade downward into open, untouched paper. The bodies dissolve into pale, undulating contours that suggest desert ridges as much as reclining forms, a hallmark of Pena's blending of the indigenous figure with the Southwestern landscape. The composition's restraint, almost monochromatic, lets the rhythm of repetition do the symbolic work: six shrouded sentinels standing in for community, endurance, and the mestizo heritage Pena has championed throughout his career. Pencil-signed at the lower right, titled at the lower center, and numbered 25 of 65 at the lower left, with blind stamps at the lower left and right corners attesting to the print's workshop authentication. Pena, born in Laredo, Texas, rose to prominence in the 1970s as a leading voice of the Chicano art movement, his graphic vocabulary fusing Pre-Columbian motifs with the textiles and physiognomy of the Tarahumara, Navajo, and Hopi peoples.. 18" W x 26" H (45.7 cm W x 66.0 cm H). About the artist: Amado Maurilio Pena, Jr. (b. 1943, Laredo, Texas) is a Mestizo printmaker and educator whose serigraphs translate the geography and peoples of the American Southwest into a bold, geometric idiom. Of Mexican and Yaqui descent, Pena came of age in a Rio Grande border town where class lines were visible from childhood, an early lesson in division that would later sharpen into political conviction. He earned his BA and MA at Texas A&I (now Texas A&M Kingsville) and taught art in the public schools of Laredo, Crystal City, and Austin. The Chicano Movement reached Texas in the 1970s, and it reached Pena through his instructor Mel Casas, who pressed a generation of artists to document Mexican American life on canvas, paper, and wall. Pena answered, and in the process began to recover the Indigenous half of his lineage, mentored in time by the painter Jose Encarnacion Pena. His mature work turns from protest toward homage: Canyon de Chelly, Spider Rock, Monument Valley, Acoma, and Enchanted Mesa appear flattened into pattern, their inhabitants rendered with monumental simplicity, the woven and ceramic vocabularies of the region absorbed into the contours of the land itself. His prints entered the landmark traveling exhibition Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation (1990 to 1993) and are held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the U.S. Department of State's Art in Embassies collection. Pena is a recognized artisan of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona.

    Est: $100 - $200

    Amado Maurilio Peña Arizona, (b. 1943) Valle in Nunes etching and aquatint Pencil signed lower right, numbered 10/65. Foxing present. Biography from the Archives of askART: Amado Pena Jr.'s art focuses on Hispanic and Native American figures and has been described as capturing the essence of the Southwest. Pena, a mestizo of Mexican and Yaqui Indian descent, was born in 1943 and raised in Laredo, Texas. He earned B.A. and M.A. degrees at Texas A & I University in Kingsville, Texas and was an art teacher in Texas public schools for sixteen years. Pena is known for his humanitarian efforts, and his fund-raising activities have benefited charities such as the March of Dimes, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Native American Rights Fund and the Mexican American Legal and Educational Fund. The Amado and JB Pena "Art Has Heart" Foundation, established in 1994, provides opportunities for low and modest income students in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona to further their education in the arts. According to Pena, "I feel blessed having seen and touched the beautiful things that speak so proudly of who we are. Our gifts to the world are our history, our art." Canyon de Chelley, Monument Valley, Spider Rock, Enchanted Mesa, Acoma, Black Mesa -- these are names that evoke an aura of mystery and hint at the birth of legends. These sites are part of an enduring, rugged landscape that speaks of the ancient heritage of a region now known as Arizona and New Mexico." This land, the people who live there and their native crafts, are the threads in a rich cultural tapestry that is the inspiration for the works of Amado M. Peña, Jr. Using this trilogy of imagery, Peña studies the interrelation and integration of these entities, giving each equal importance. With bold color, form and the dynamics of composition, Peña communicates his vision of a land, a people, and their art. He is a prolific artist with restless, creative energy that keeps him at work in his studios in Santa Fe and Austin. A master printer, his serigraphs are noted for bold color schemes and strong graphic use of lines. His etchings convey quiet elegance in fine lines and soft color. The drama of his paintings is heightened by an intensity of hue and unexpected spatial relationships. Abstractions of the landscape merge with exaggerated human forms; blanket and pottery patterns further echo the shapes of the land. Pena is recognized as an Artisan of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona and is dedicated to furthering the public's knowledge and interest in the Tribe, its art, its history, and its culture.

Inventory #548 Amado Maurilio Pena (Born 1943) is active/lives in Arizona. Amado Pena is known for Mestizo and Indian figure, genre. Amado Pena Jr.'s art focuses on Hispanic and Native American figures and has been described as capturing the essence of the Southwest. Pena, a mestizo of Mexican and Yaqui Indian descent, was born in 1943 and raised in Laredo, Texas. He earned B.A. and M.A. degrees at Texas A & I University in Kingsville, Texas and was an art teacher in Texas public schools for sixteen years. Pena is known for his humanitarian efforts, and his fund-raising activities have benefited charities such as the March of Dimes, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Native American Rights Fund and the Mexican American Legal and Educational Fund. The Amado and JB Pena "Art Has Heart" Foundation, established in 1994, provides opportunities for low and modest income students in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona to further their education in the arts. According to Pena, "I feel blessed having seen and touched the beautiful things that speak so proudly of who we are. Our gifts to the world are our history, our art." Canyon de Chelley, Monument Valley, Spider Rock, Enchanted Mesa, Acoma, Black Mesa -- these are names that evoke an aura of mystery and hint at the birth of legends. These sites are part of an enduring, rugged landscape that speaks of the ancient heritage of a region now known as Arizona and New Mexico." This land, the people who live there and their native crafts, are the threads in a rich cultural tapestry that is the inspiration for the works of Amado M. Peña, Jr. Using this trilogy of imagery, Peña studies the interrelation and integration of these entities, giving each equal importance. With bold color, form and the dynamics of composition, Peña communicates his vision of a land, a people, and their art. He is a prolific artist with restless, creative energy that keeps him at work in his studios in Santa Fe and Austin. A master printer, his serigraphs are noted for bold color schemes and strong graphic use of lines. His etchings convey quiet elegance in fine lines and soft color. The drama of his paintings is heightened by an intensity of hue and unexpected spatial relationships. Abstractions of the landscape merge with exaggerated human forms; blanket and pottery patterns further echo the shapes of the land. Pena is recognized as an Artisan of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona and is dedicated to furthering the public's knowledge and interest in the Tribe, its art, its history, and its culture.

Peña was featured in the 1990-1993 exhibition Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation that traveled to ten major cities in the United States, the most extensive and widely seen show of its type to date. Peña continues to make art, particularly working in printmaking, and his work can be seen in the United States Art in Embassies Collection and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
