Painting and Sculpture

Edward Chavez (artist)

Edward Arcenio Chavez (1917–1995) was an American artist. His work straddled realism, expressionism, and abstraction; often incorporating both elements of modernism and his heritage as a New Mexican Hispanic and Native American artist. He was an artist with the Treasury Relief Art Project during the Great Depression of the 1930s. He also worked for the Section of Painting and Sculpture, painting a mural in the post office in Geneva, Nebraska, in 1941. His painting Colt can be found at the Museum of Modern Art. His work is also included in the collection at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum.
