Description: David Chethlahe Paladin 1975 Original Painting Navajo Native American 17"x14" Signed. Framed and double matted, acrylic on artboard. David Chethlahe Paladin (1926-1984) is an influential artist in terms of his contributions to the development of contemporary Native American art. Born to a Navajo mother and an Anglo father, Paladin was raised in the Navajo and Pueblo traditions, which left a lasting effect upon his art. An incorrigible runaway, a stowaway, a secret agent, a WW II prison camp survivor, Paladin's life story sounds more like fiction than fact. Paladin explains his art signature, “The name I was given was "Chethlahe" which is Navajo for Little-Turtle-Who-Cries-in-the-Night. I was born prematurely so I was too small for the cradle board they placed me in. I would disappear from sight as I slid down to the bottom of the cradle board and then I would let out a scream until someone would pull me out. I guess I must have reminded my family of a turtle which hides its head in its shell. I have chosen to use that name as the signature on my art.” Please review all photos, you can zoom in closer for condition and detail. “A picture tells a thousand words”, Please contact us for answers to questions you may have that will help you make your buying decision.
