Lot description

David Johns (Born 1948) "Three Navajos" (Looking Things Over In Navajo Land) Oil on Board. From Winslow, Arizona, David Johns is an abstract painter of works that express his inner thoughts, formed from a culture of growing up on the Navajo reservation and continuing to live nearby. Beginning in 1976, David’s work has been exhibited at gallery shows all over the world, with many solo exhibitions including Navajo Tribal Museum, Window Rock, Arizona (1977); C.G. Rein Galleries, Santa Fe, New Mexico (1984); The Concord Place, Phoenix, Arizona (1987); Millicent Rogers Museum, Taos, New Mexico (1993); Palais de Nations, United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland (1999); and the Lanning Gallery, Sedona, Arizona (2006). David often incorporates abstract elements as well as realism in his works. In this painting David has nestled a Dine Male portrait within the painting, surrounded by a more abstract background.
