Native American Petroglyphs: Newspaper Rock, UT
2020 By Derek Anderson, Joel Anderson
About the Art
A trip to Newspaper Rock, Utah offers an experience quite unlike any other. Newspaper Rock is a
historic site in Utah, a massive rock that features the drawings, petroglyphs, and writings of Native
American tribes from centuries past. In fact, archeologists have dated some of the writings as far back
as 2,000 years old! And while we can surmise that much of the petroglyphs tell stories of hunting
patterns, crop cycles, and prophecies, we actually have no way of knowing exactly what the writings
say, as there is no written translation available for these particular petroglyphs. We can only wonder at
what messages the indigenous peoples of centuries past were trying to leave for us. Inspired by the
mystery and wonder conveyed in art thousands of years old, our artists at Anderson Design Group
created vintage poster art of the petroglyphs, our own way of paying homage to the indigenous artists
that walked this land long before we did. This retro poster is available as an art print, canvas banner,
metal sign, notecard, postcard, or hand-stretched canvas. To learn more about the artwork or to
schedule a trip to Newspaper Rock, check out the website for Visit Utah.
Our gorgeous art canvases are made-to-order on high-fidelity printers and stretched onto wood frames with hanging brackets installed. Each work of art features an original illustration by the talented, award-winning artists of Anderson Design Group.
