Zusammenfassung: | "Eva Mirabal (Eah-Ha-Wa, Fast Growing Corn, 1920-1968) studied for six years at the acclaimed Dorothy Dunn Studio art program in Santa Fe, where she was a favorite of the program's founder and served as an assistant to Dunn's successor, Geronima Montoya (P'Otsunu, 1915-2015, Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo). By the time she was twenty years old, Mirabal was exhibiting in museums and galleries across the country. Her father, Pedro Mirabal, and her father-in-law, Geronimo Gomez, were popular models for members of the Taos Art Society and for the modern artists who came to Taos as part of the Mabel Dodge Luhan circle. Mirabal's first exposure to art was through her father Pedro, who sat for a bronze bust created by Maurice Sterne and for a portrait by Nicolai Fechin, Pietro, now in the collections of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Gomez, one of the leaders of the Peyote religion at Taos Pueblo, is the non-traditional figure depicted in Ernest Blumenschein's controversial painting Star Road and White Sun. Eva was very likely the first Native American woman to publish a comic strip, during WWII. She created her feisty G. I. Gertie while she was enlisted in the Woman's Army Corp (WACs) (1943-46); at the same time she worked on two significant mural commissions, the only WAC engaged as a full-time artist. After the war, Eva served as a visiting professor of art at Southern Illinois Normal University (1946-47). After returning to Taos Pueblo, she studied at the Taos Valley Art School on the G. I. Bill (1949-51). Throughout her lifetime, her paintings and murals received national acclaim. After her death in 1968, Eva's teenage sons discovered a treasure trove of her life story. In a huge pine box that she had nailed shut, she placed scores of her drawings; family photographs; diary entries; newspaper clippings; and hundreds of letters related to her life and work that she received from curators, gallery owners, friends, and teachers over the years. Drawing on this rich and invaluable archive, as well as on interviews with family members, Rudnick tells the story of Eva's brilliant but brief and impactful career as a Taos Pueblo artist, along with the story of the artistic legacy carried on by her son Jonathan Warm Day Coming, a distinguished painter and children's book writer and illustrator"-- Provided by publisher |

By the time she was twenty years old, Mirabal was exhibiting in museums and galleries across the country. Her father, Pedro Mirabal, and her father-in-law, Geronimo Gomez, were popular models for members of the Taos Art Society and for the modern artists who came to Taos as part of the Mabel Dodge Luhan circle. Mirabal's first exposure to art was through her father Pedro, who sat for a bronze bust created by Maurice Sterne and for a portrait by Nicolai Fechin, Pietro, now in the collections of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Gomez, one of the leaders of the Peyote religion at Taos Pueblo, is the non-traditional figure depicted in Ernest Blumenschein's controversial painting Star Road and White Sun. Eva was very likely the first Native American woman to publish a comic strip, during WWII. She created her feisty G. I. Gertie while she was enlisted in the Woman's Army Corp (WACs) (1943-46); at the same time she worked on two significant mural commissions, the only WAC engaged as a full-time artist. After the war, Eva served as a visiting professor of art at Southern Illinois Normal University (1946-47). After returning to Taos Pueblo, she studied at the Taos Valley Art School on the G. I. Bill (1949-51). Throughout her lifetime, her paintings and murals received national acclaim. After her death in 1968, Eva's teenage sons discovered a treasure trove of her life story. In a huge pine box that she had nailed shut, she placed scores of her drawings; family photographs; diary entries; newspaper clippings; and hundreds of letters related to her life and work that she received from curators, gallery owners, friends, and teachers over the years. Drawing on this rich and invaluable archive, as well as on interviews with family members, Rudnick tells the story of Eva's brilliant but brief and impactful career as a Taos Pueblo artist, along with the story of the artistic legacy carried on by her son Jonathan Warm Day Coming, a distinguished painter and children's book writer and illustrator"-- Provided by publisher Eah-Ha-Wa 1920-1968 (DE-588)1241490864 gnd rswk-swf Jonathan Warm Day Coming 1952- (DE-588)1241493014 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1920-1968 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1952-2021 gnd rswk-swf Illustration (DE-588)4123412-1 gnd rswk-swf Malerei (DE-588)4037220-0 gnd rswk-swf Eah-Ha-Wa / 1920-1968 Indian painting / New Mexico / Taos Pueblo / History Taos art / 20th century Taos women / Biography Taos Pueblo (N.M.)
