From scenes at the Tesuque Pueblo church to depictions of family life, agricultural activities, and ceremonial dances, these works brim with cultural significance.
Pino first discovered the art of linoleum block printmaking in 1924, and by March 1925, his talent was showcased at the Museum of Fine Arts.
Throughout the late 1920s, his prints were featured in exhibitions, including the Southwest Indian Fair at the Santa Fe Fiesta.
Each piece stands as a testament to Pino’s artistic innovation and his commitment to portraying the rich traditions of the Tesuque Pueblo.
Tony Chavarria, curator at the Museum, beautifully articulated the significance of Pino’s work: “Juan Pino’s prints provide a rare and invaluable insight into Pueblo life in the early 20th century, preserving cultural moments that might have otherwise been overlooked. His ability to illustrate everyday life with respect and authenticity speaks to the enduring uniqueness of Pueblo traditions.”
Additionally, the exhibition honors Pino’s collaborative spirit, showcasing two pottery pieces created with his wife, Lorencita, an acclaimed potter from Tesuque Pueblo.
Their combined artistic vision and cultural legacy truly shine through in this special showcase and celebration of art and tradition.
