Many sites have been seriously compromised by Lege and much of their information is lost forever. Some are suffering the effects of aging ‘ated weathering. Other panels, especially those easily accessible, are in danger of further degradation. At this rate of deterioration, many of us fear that our grandchildren will never have the opportunity to experience many of these marvelous works of ar These 24 photographs have been selected to represent the several hundred Craig Law has taken for the project from 1993 through 1996.

Photographer Craig Law and _ Project Director David Sucec have teamed up to create this traveling exhibit for the Utah Arts Council. ucked in among Utah’s arches and the sandstone reef, hundreds of panels of rock art are displayed on the walls of the winding canyons. These images were painted, pecked, and drawn by Native American artists during the prehistoric past. Utah’s first artists, Western Archaic hunters and gatherers (ca. 5,600 BCE CE 400), created many of the most striking rock art panels. And while we do not know their names for themselves, we call their painting style the Barrier Canyon style Utah’s collection of rock art styles rank among the best in the United States—in numbers, in time-depth, and in aesthetic quality. From an estimated 23 apparent styles of Utah rock art, the Barrier Canyon style is generally recognized as the state’s premier prehistoric form. The Barrier Canyon style is also one of two major Archaic painted rock art styles in the United States (perhaps in the entire world). Even when considered on a global scale, the Barrier Canyon style is a remarkable body of visual images. Like the European animal painters of the caves, many Barrier Canyon image-makers were true painters and a few were exceptional artists. The range of their painting technique and their grasp of the visual ideas or issues attendant to painting are truly impressive, regardless of place or time.
