Juan Mirabal

An exhibition of their work "Three Pueblo Painters" was held at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos, New Mexico January 24 - April 20, 2003.

The Taos Pueblo is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States by Ancestral Puebloans.

Similar sites include the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Pyramids in Egypt, and the Grand Canyon in the United States.

[2] For centuries, Pueblo painters have painted in tempera, clay slips, and earth pigments on woven textiles, interior walls, ceramics, and hides.

[3] Looking Elk, Albert Lujan, and Juan Mirabal adopted and mastered European painting materials and techniques.

[4] Mirabal's Taos Pueblo painting inspired the following poem, by Enrique Pinedo, a student of Lawrence Intermediate School.
