WESTERN PAINTING (WILLIAM ROBINSON LEIGH)
1915 Western painting, original on canvas depicting Spider Rock, Canyon De Chelly. Signed W.R. Leigh 1915. 19'' x 21'' frame size 24'' x 23'' And J.L. Hubbell Trading post Token


Leigh was introduced to the Navajo Nation in 1912 by Juan Lorenzo Hubbell, who ran a trading post in Ganado, Arizona. Hubbell was a great friend of the Navajo Nation and introduced Leigh to its people and way of life. Leigh immediately connected with the celebration of the land and all that it offered its inhabitants, and he was given the opportunity to observe ceremonial dances and rituals of the Navajo. This connection with and awareness of the lifestyles of the Native American people of the Southwest gives Leigh's pieces a poignancy and accuracy that few other artists of his genre possess.
