When William Acheff painted his first centuries-old Pueblo pot shortly after arriving in Taos in 1973, he realized he could evoke the deep quiet he imagined earlier artists felt working in their time. Though the artist has no direct link to the Southwestern and Plains tribes whose artifacts he has collected and painted, he seeks to extend an appreciation for Native American traditions, human qualities of continuity, and a slower pace of life as well as what he calls, "the subtle relationships that are common to us all." Archeff was born in 1947 in Anchorage, Alaska, of Georgian, Russian, Scottish, Dutch, and Alaskan-Athabascan heritage. Classically trained in San Francisco, he continues to paint in this widely recognized, distinctive way, often blending artifacts and traditions of the past with contemporary items and settings. <br><br>The bowl depicted in the present example is from San Juan, a pueblo rich in a tradition of creating pottery vessels for functional use. Though the early elegant shapes and beautiful curves ended by the 1900s, they were revived in the 1930s and 1940s when local women studied ancient pottery from the area as a basis for a bowl such as the one depicted here. Rather than "San Juan," the native people prefer the traditional name Ohkay Owingeh which means "Place of the Strong People."

מקור ומקור
אוסף פרטי
כשוויליאם אשף צייר את סיר הפואבלו הראשון שלו בן מאות השנים זמן קצר לאחר שהגיע לטאוס ב-1973, הוא הבין שהוא יכול לעורר את השקט העמוק שדמיין שאמנים קודמים הרגישו עובדים בזמנם. אף על פי שלאמן אין קשר ישיר לשבטים הדרום-מערביים והמישוריים שאת חפציהם אסף וצייר, הוא מבקש להביע הערכה למסורות אינדיאניות, לאיכויות אנושיות של המשכיות ולקצב חיים איטי יותר, כמו גם למה שהוא מכנה "היחסים העדינים המשותפים לכולנו". ארצ'ף נולד בשנת 1947 באנקורג', אלסקה, ממוצא גאורגי, רוסי, סקוטי, הולנדי ואלסקה-אתבסקנית. בהכשרתו הקלאסית בסן פרנסיסקו, הוא ממשיך לצייר בדרך ייחודית ומוכרת זו, ולעתים קרובות משלב חפצים ומסורות מן העבר עם פריטים ותפאורות עכשוויים.

הקערה המתוארת בדוגמה הנוכחית היא מסן חואן, פואבלו עשיר במסורת של יצירת כלי חרס לשימוש פונקציונלי. למרות שהצורות האלגנטיות המוקדמות והקימורים היפים הסתיימו בשנת 1900, הם קמו לתחייה בשנות השלושים והארבעים כאשר נשים מקומיות חקרו כלי חרס עתיקים מהאזור כבסיס לקערה כמו זו המתוארת כאן. במקום "סן חואן", הילידים מעדיפים את השם המסורתי Ohkay Owingeh שפירושו "מקום האנשים החזקים".
