For your consideration is an signed artist proof mixed media etching with gold foil accents featuring a camouflaged Koshare clown from noted Native American Hopi/Mexican artist Armond Lara (b. 1939). Koshare is a sacred clown of the Native American Hopi people, one that you’re likely to see at Katsina ceremonies. He is one of several clowns, which are sometimes called jesters or tricksters.

His artworks often include handmade paper, found objects, and mixed media including traditional Navajo beadwork that is sewn onto the canvas. He creates paintings, collages, fetish objects, and marionettes. His art is in many collections in the United States and Europe, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, the Eiteljorg Museum of Western and American Indian Art in Indiana, and more.
