A58 Artist Unknown, poster announcing Art Peau-Rouge d’aujourd’hui, 1935. Tempera on paper, 20 in. x 13 in. Courtesy of the Musée du quai Branly, 7AP/16 – Archives privées: Fonds Paul Coze et DA000199/32288 : Archives du Musée de l’Homme, Série C : Manifestations organisées par le MH 1930–1980. Based on the style and subject, this poster was almost certainly painted by Sybil Yazzie (Diné, 1919–?). Dorothy Dunn wrote of Yazzie’s figures, “her tiny motifs of necklaces, bracelets, hatbands, harnesses, fringes, and like adornments studded each scene with meticulously wrought decoration” (301). Yazzie’s 1935 painting, A Crowd at a Navajo N’da-a, traveled to the International Exposition of Arts and Techniques in Paris in 1937, where the Studio School was awarded a bronze medal (Broder 37).
