Diego Romero?(Cochiti Pueblo)

Diego Romero (Cochiti Pueblo)

Presented here are the drawings that are the source material for the famed Diego Romero neo-Mimbres pottery pieces. Taking inspiration from the Marvel Comics of the 1960s, in particular those scripted by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby, Diego creates his ceramic pieces which speak of the history of the Pueblos and the struggles of today. The conquistador Don Diego de Vargas takes the place of Loki, the Norse trickster god in this drawing inspired by the splash page from The Avengers #1 from 1963.
