Harrison Begay Navajo Serigraph – “Hoop Dance,” Framed Native American Print
This vintage serigraph by renowned Navajo artist Harrison Begay (H. Begay) features a dynamic portrayal of a Hoop Dancer, a traditional Native American ceremonial figure known for agility and symbolic storytelling through movement. Rendered in Begay’s signature style—crisp outlines, earth-toned palette, and stylized figuration—the image captures cultural vibrancy with grace and rhythm.

Produced by Tewa Enterprises of Santa Fe, New Mexico, likely in the 1950s, this screenprint reflects the publisher’s mission to share Native American art through high-quality, accessible editions. The work is titled “Hoop Dance” in the image lower left and includes Begay’s printed name at lower right. It is presented in a double matted wood frame behind glass, with a soft gray-blue mat that complements the composition.

A compelling piece of mid-century Indigenous art, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Native American heritage.
