Description
This is a loose painting of a Sioux chief, inspired by one of the thousands of pictures taken by Edward Curtis in the late 19th and early 20th century. I took 20 years off the man and lightened his expression a bit. The original was so sad, and I didn't want a sad painting. I mean, I still want the viewer to feel some empathy with the chief but I was mostly after a feeling of pride and slight defiance. I left the headdress very loose and impressionistic.
