When the Winter Olympics came to Salt Lake City in 2002, one of the most popular attractions for people from all over the world was the exhibit on Native American cultures and lifestyles. The organizers of the Olympics made a special effort to highlight the tribes of Utah and the Southwest.
One of their efforts was to work with John Nieto, an amazing artist of Navajo, Mescalero Apache and Hispanic background to commission a wonderful set of Serigraphs that highlighted Nietoâs bold use of primary colors. It was called the âOlympic Powerâ Suite that included three images highlighting the athletic performances of the event.
âSwifterââ is a Coyote at a full run, âHigherâ shows a rabbit leaping through the air and âStrongerâ is the image of a Grizzly Bear, the most powerful animal in North America.
