Tesuque Seated Figure by Art Vigil, measures 7.25'' x 5.5'', signed on bottom by artist, very colorful figure holding pottery jar, missing one of the beaded earrings and had one ear repaired. Artist Bio: Arthur Vigil's grandparents, Manuel and Vicenta Vigil, are famous potters from Tesuque Pueblo. Manuel is credited with having made the first pueblo pottery nacimiento sometime in the 1950s. He and she went on to produce many pottery figurines over a lifetime. Now, their grandson, Arthur Vigil, is making figurines in the style of his famous grandparents. This storyteller by the younger Vigil is totally different in presentation from his grandparent's storyteller figurines but bears a similarity in folk-art style and bright paint colors. He has chosen to emulate his grandparents without copying their style.
