Kabotie’s Butterfly Dance Painting

Kabotie’s Butterfly Dance Painting
Hopi painter Fred Kabotie studied with Dorothy Dunn at a school she established in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for native artists. Dunn advised them to look at their ceremonies and traditional arts for ideas. Kabotie studied Hopi and Pueblo traditions before creating “Butterfly Water Drinking Dance” (1925, Heard Museum of Art, Phoenix, Arizona). It features a line of costumed dancers performing a traditional Hopi dance against a flat background.
