Hopi Night Dance Painting

Framed oil on canvas painting by Hopi artist Neil David Sr., painted in the 1990s, depicting a Hopi Night Dance with Kachinas emerging from a kiva under a dark night sky. The scene includes Mudheads, Broadfaced Whippers, a Hopi priest, and Hano Mana, also known as the Tewa Maiden, shown with bean sprouts. Hopi Night Dances, or Angkwa, are early Katsina-season ceremonies held in the kivas, and the inclusion of Hano Mana and bean sprouts connects the scene to themes of renewal, growth, and ceremonial blessing associated with Powamuya, the Bean Dance. Neil David Sr. is known for expressive depictions of Hopi ceremonial life, capturing movement, humor, and cultural depth through bold color and character-filled scenes. The piece is wired for wall hanging.

Part of the historic Kopavi Collection, this painting has never been previously owned.
