LOUIS B. SIEGRIEST (AMERICAN, 1899-1989) WPA NATIVE AMERICAN THEMED PRINTS / POSTERS, LOT OF FIVE, large format chromolithographic prints having been cut down to their current size, featuring Native American themed subjects comprising "Eskimo Mask - Western Alaska"; "Blanket Design of the Haida Indians - Alaska"; "Antelope Hunt from a Navajo Drawing - New Mexico"; "Chippewa Picture Writing - Seneca Mask - Eastern Woodlands"; and "Pomo Indian Basket - California". Circa 1939. Some with badly tattered pieces of glued-on mats. Posters each cut down to roughly 22" x 25".
Catalogue Note: Siegriest created the designs for these prints, and others, as part of the advertising campaign for the San Francisco World's Fair / Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939, specifically for its "Indian Court" dedicated to showcasing Native American art. The posters originally were even larger and had a block of text below the illustration which read "INDIAN COURT" and gave the location/information about the Fair itself. They also would have been marked "SIEGRIEST" and "FEDERAL ART PROJECT" along the upper edges; these markings are mostly hidden under the glued-down matting. It seems sometime after the Fair ended, these particular posters were not thrown out but instead heavily cut down/altered to retain only the illustration and its title.

Condition

Fair as-found condition; aside from the size alteration, each has heavy wear including bends/curling from rolled storage and surface abrasions from the glue, along with edge creases and some chips/losses primarily along lower edges. "Pomo Indian Basket" example also with some mildew damage to surface and several small holes/surface cracks.
