Margaret & Luther Gutierrez Santa Clara Pueblo Pottery Figure Margaret & Luther Gutierrez 3" pottery figurine, one old repair to one leg, artist signed. Margaret Gutierrez (born 1936) and Luther Gutierrez (1911–1987) were brother and sister Native American potters from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, United States. They continued the polychrome style of painting made famous by their parents Lela and Van Gutierrez. They learned the art from their parents and began making pottery together in the 1960s. Margaret and Luther’s painted slips included unique color combinations. Their first creations included polychrome bowls, jars and wedding vases with designs centered on the Avanyu (water serpent), rain, clouds and lightning and sky bands. In the 1970s they came up with their original idea of making polychrome caricatures of animals and other smaller figurines rather than the jars made famous by their parents. These were painted with the same slips and pigments used on earlier pieces. MA. buyers pay 6.25% sales taxBidders outside US please email with shipping charge before bidding.
