Author: THE
FINE ART OF NAVAJO WEAVING
Steve
Getzwiller has been working with the Navajo for over 25 years.
His name has become synonymous with the finest contemporary
Navajo textiles available.
He
has encouraged Navajo artists to weave designs that stretch
their artistic abilities, using colors that are pleasing in
combination, and emphasizing the need for quality in the weave
itself. He offers to the world the finest Navajo Weavings
available and continues to work with weavers to surpass their
previous heights of excellence.
Navajo
weaving of today has become a fine art, Considering the cultural
transformations that have taken place on the Navajo Reservation
over the past 100 years, this art form continues to evolve.
Mr. Getzwiller has witnessed many of these changes in recent
years and is working tirelessly to cultivate the continuation
of this indigenous art form of the Southwest.
Most of his time and efforts today are consumed by seeking
out the finest examples of historic and early regional weavings
available, as well as collaborating with many Navajo weavers
to create some of the finest contemporary rugs he has ever
had an opportunity to handle. You can read about the "Navajo
Churro Collection" in the link at the top of this page.
