By. David Chethlahe Paladin (1926-1984), entitled "The Serpent Slayer." Paladin was the son of a Navajo Indian mother and a white missionary father, spending his early years on the Navajo reservation near Chinle, Arizona. Although David Chethlahe Paladin is an influential artist in terms of his contributions to the development of contemporary Native American art, the breadth and depth of his work exceeds the usual artistic style designations. Paladin's art is rooted in but not bounded by the lore of his Indian ancestry. His themes are timelessness and universal. Measures 34 1/2" x 28 1/4" in black linen mat and black wood frame. Painting measures 27 1/2" x 21 1/2". Signed lower right corner, dated '72.
