The title of this 25"x22" giclee on canvas by Patricia Dobson is "Pueblo Chiaroscuro". You might be interested to learn that the word Chiaroscuro is Italian for light-dark and is a term used in art for a contrast between light and dark. The term is usually applied to bold contrasts affecting a whole composition, but is also used by artists to produce a contrasts of light, not necessarily strong, to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects. In this piece we have a grouping of San Ildefonso pottery c. 1825-1875 and a Navajo Germantown blanket c. 1890.Until next time.........
