Navajo Women’s Wearing Blanket Poster by Silverman, Jack - 1984

New. 1984. Poster. "The background of thin, alternating black and white stripes characteristic of women's chief's blankets is all but eclipsed by the six triangular eyedazzler motifs emerging from the margins of this blanket. The horizontal brown stripe at the center (a motif common to Ute-style First Phase chief's blankets and Navajo brown-center mantas) grounds all the activity of vivid color and exaggerated design taking place above and below it." - Joshua Baer. Poster images in the Silverman Museum Collection reflect the careful attention to detail by Jack Silverman. The imagery is first executed in serigraph form in 65 to 100 screen applications on Arches handmade paper. After satisfying his critical eye, Jack supervises the printing of the art reproductions in poster form on high quality, acid-free archival paper. Each poster is reproduced in six to twelve press runs on Curtis Brightwater cover stock in a consistent format with the others in the series. These posters then become not only strikingly colorful art pieces, but also a careful documentation of the human spirit that gave life to these beautiful, functional garments. ; 24" x 36" .
