Udall Department of the Interior Building: Nailor Murals - Washington DC The Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior building contains one of the largest collections of New Deal art in Washington DC by some of the finest American artists of the time.
From 1939 to 1941, Gerald Nailor, a Navajo, and other Indian artists were invited by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts to Washington to study with Olaf Normandy and then paint murals in the Interior building.
In the South Penthouse (8th floor), Nailor painted three large murals called "Navajo Scenes" in 1940: "Preparing Yarn For Weaving" (West Wall), "The Hunting Ground" (South Wall on both side of entry door)...
