Mid Century American reproduction print “Three Navajos” by Mahonri Young

This Mid Century American reproduction print titled, "Three Navajos" by Mahonri Young offers a poignant portrayal of Arizona's Navajo population, second only to Oklahoma in size within the United States. Among the state's forty-five thousand Native Americans, a significant portion are Navajos, part of the vast Athapascan tribe spanning from Hudson Bay to northern Mexico. Traditionally herders and weavers, they add picturesque allure to the landscape, often seen by tourists traversing their ancestral lands in modern cars. However, Mahonri Young transcends mere scenic depiction, presenting the Navajos as individuals. With over twenty-five years of study, Young's etching captures the essence of Navajo women with empathy and accuracy amidst Arizona's challenging terrain, creating a striking and evocative work of art.
