National Museum of Natural History
The Year of the Hopi
November 13, 1981 – January 3, 1982
On view are 41 watercolors, delicate and precise, showing kachina dancers painted by artist Joseph Mora in the early 1900s. Mora's feel for lighting and for the desolation of the mesas makes the paintings valuable artistic works as well as important documentation. The watercolors are accompanied by commentary from his own pithy and good-humored notes.
