Dave Powell Montana Indian Sketch
Lot #32 (Sale Order 32 of 1226)
Nice sketch on notebook paper by Dave Powell. 8.5" by 11.5". Dave Powell is a native son of Montana, in a world of change and transition; few can say they have roots in a single geography that go back four generations. Dave's pedigree in art is just about as deep. He is the son of artists Ace Powell and Nancy McLaughlin Powell. That heritage leads back to the likes of Charlie Russell and Joe De Young, both famous for their abilities to "tell the story" through their art. His father, Ace Powell, was a prolific Western artist whose first childhood paint-box set was a gift from Charlie and Nancy Russell. Dave became a serious student of art in his mid-teens, and has been a professional artist most of his adult life. Over the years he has worked with Bob Scriver, Ned Jacob and Robert Lougheed. Dave will be the first to give thanks and credit to *CAA founder Joe Beeler for his longstanding friendship and guidance over many years. Because of his vast knowledge of the dress and habits of Western Indians, pioneers and cowboys, Dave is often called upon to provide costumes and props, and to give technical advice about authenticity for films and television. Productions he has worked on include Good Old Boys, Silverado, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams and Lonesome Dove. His interests in historic reenactments and rides have taken him all across the West, and these travels have afforded Dave the opportunity for inspiration. While his film work utilizes his experience and observation, his sculptures, paintings and illustrations are born of his imagination. Dave and his family now reside in central Montana, just a short drive from Charlie Russell's home in Great Falls. There he is constantly inspired by the very buttes and prairies that Russell himself loved and painted.

Chip CM Jones Bronze Grizzly Bear Track Sculpture
Lot #150 (Sale Order 150 of 1226)
Nice piece. Signed as shown. Artist is Chip "CM" Jones of Stevensville Montana. 10.5" by 11.5". Chip is a fifth generation Montanan, who has been working in the arts most of his life. He had his first art show while attending Montana State University in Bozeman in 1980. After earning a degree in Art education he went on to teach at both the elementary and high school level. He built his personal bronze foundry "Big Rock Bronze Works" in 1997 and has been creating his work there, ever since. This has allowed him to experiment with all methods of pouring bronze including the lost wax method, sand casting and open face plaster. He created a rustic line of hardware which has been sold in over 300 design shops and galleries across the country in 1998. His work can be found in all fifty states and many fine lodges abroad. He created a new technique of throwing the bronze into open faced molds in 2007. Using up to 15 iron ladles during a single pour, he creates heavily textured relief work that is both contemporary and recognizable. Chip has always considered himself a texturist and enjoys the affects he achieves by splashing, throwing and dribbling the 2300 degree metal into one of his custom made molds. He is also an avid outdoorsman and feels it is his responsibility to give back to the charitable organizations that help to protect the wild places for future generations. He has donated over 40 works in bronze to organizations such as; the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Trouts Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Federation of North American Wild Sheep and many others. If he is not in his studio working on his next piece, you will surely find him tromping the mountain sides of Western Montana.

John Henri Moser Utah Oil on Board Painting
Lot #192 (Sale Order 192 of 1226)
Nice painting. Signed as shown. Dated 1932. Has paint loss in the center above the pond on the Aspen Tree as shown. 11.25" by 12.5" framed. John Henri Moser was born to John Moser and Elizabeth Flueman on September 13, 1876, in Wabern, Switzerland. Of seven children in the family, John Henri was the fifth. At an early age he dropped the name John and went by the name Henri. In 1881, his family moved to Bern, Switzerland, where his father pursued stone cutting as a career and where Henri first attended school. His early love of painting and drawing became evident as he was constantly chastised for sketching in class. One teacher even beat his hands until blistered for such behavior in her class. However, even this experience could not sway him from his love of art. Some years later, the Moser family became converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1888, the family emigrated to America and crossed the plains in a covered wagon. They settled first in Payson, Utah, and later moved to Logan, Utah. It was in Logan that Moser began to work for the Diem family on their farm. A short while later, he began working in a printing shop in Enterprise, Utah: a job that was to last for the next ten years. While working at the printing shop, Moser decided to further his formal education. He went to work in the Gill Edge Mine in Montana to earn money for school. After saving the required funds, he returned to Logan and enrolled in the Utah State Agriculture College (USAC). He initially registered in the School of Engineering, but after some persuasion from Professor Stoddare, Henri changed his studies to art. On September 13, 1905, Henri married Aldina Wurden and later had six sons and daughters with her. They continued to live in Logan where Henri pursued his studies along with Alma B. Wright at Brigham Young College. In 1910, Dr. John A. Widstoe, President of Utah State Agriculture College, granted Henri a loan that allowed Henri to travel to Paris, France. In Paris, Henri enrolled at Colarossi Delecluse Academy and studied with Marvel Berenaur. He continued his studies at Carri and Miller. During this time, Henri became acquainted with Pablo Picasso. Henri later said of Picasso, "I know him well, he painted beautiful things then. Today he paints to advertise himself and laughs at the credulous public. He has wonderful talent and ability." In 1911, Moser returned to the United States to teach at the USAC. He later taught at the Agricultural College in Ceder City before moving to Idaho to homestead land in Malad. He ranched and painted there for the next eight years. Henri Moser proved his talent and ability with each of his creations. He received numerous awards and exhibited throughout the country.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn Jan Lutma Goldsmith
Lot #193 (Sale Order 193 of 1226)
Important and significant Etching. First state with Window. Title is Jan Lutma Goldsmith. Etching, engraving and drypoint. Signed in window. 12" by 14.5" framed. No evidence of conservation or repair. Dates to 1656. Was acquired by previous owner from the Albrecht Durer Festival in Nurnberg Germany in 1972. Rembrandt was born in Leyden on July 15, 1606. In 1620 he became a student at the Latin School of Leyden University, but soon gave up his formal education to enter the studio of Jacob van Swanenburch. He continued his instruction in Amsterdam with Pieter Lastman and then Jan Pynas. In 1626 he returned to Leyden, an independent master, and entered into partnership with Gerald Dou (1628). Three years later he settled in Amsterdam, where he remained until his death. In that city his first big portrait group, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" gained him immediate recognition and a fashionable portrait following. Rembrandt, however, could not accept that sort of career and "The Night Watch", finished in 1642, aroused the hostility of his sitters. Titus, the artist's only son was born in 1641, the year preceding his mother, Saskia's, death. In their eight years of married life, Saskia had born Rembrandt four children, but only Titus survived childhood. His financial affairs meanwhile had become disastrously involved and were rapidly getting out of control, and in 1656 he was declared insolvent. He continued consistently to work, despite his misfortunes, living with Hendrickje Stoffels, who had been his housekeeper, and Titus, and in 1654 a daughter, Cornelia was born. The number of his paintings, etchings and drawings is unusually large. No artist has ever left so complete a record of his own appearance as has Rembrandt. He used himself constantly as a model, from his boyhood to the very year of his death, and it has been estimated that he must have made at least two self-portraits a year throughout his life. He died on October 4, 1669 and was buried in the Westerkerk.

Ace Powell Glacier Park Montana Bear Cubs
Lot #195 (Sale Order 195 of 1226)
Nice print. 13.5" by 16.5". Born in Kalispell, Montana, Nancy McLaughlin became noted for her depictions of Indian faces from babies to men and in her later years, the portrayal of Indian legends. Her passion in her later years was portraying Indian legends. She worked mostly with pencil and pastels in the early days but moved on to watercolor, oil, and sculpture. During her career, McLaughlin lived in Washington, Arizona, and Texas. She drew mostly horses and animals during her early age. She graduated from Flathead High School, which has several works by her in their library. She attended the University of Montana to get a teaching degree and study art. There she met Ace Powell, twenty years older than she. They married and started a family in Hungry Horse, Montana. In 1964, the house and studio and art gallery in Hungry Horse burned to the ground. The cause was never determined for sure, but their personal and private art collection and Indian artifacts were all destroyed. The pressure of this calamity was too much and the couple divorced, leaving four children, David, Christa, Allison, and Ann, all who have remained in the northwest. McLaughlin had had a life-long struggle with asthma and respiratory illnesses, and this was the cause of her death, which occurred in Newport, Washington.

King Kuka Blackfoot Indian Watercolor Montana
Lot #534 (Sale Order 534 of 1226)
Very nice watercolor on hand cut paper. Artist is King Kuka of Montana. 14" by 16" framed. Born in Browning, Montana, he grew up on the family ranch in Birch Creek but left as a teenager to study art. He was in the first class of artists graduating from the Institute for Native American Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Kuka then briefly served in the military, and by 1978 he devoted all his time to his artistic endeavours. He became pivotal in the growing Native American Art movement feeling a responsibility to reach a wide audience with his work. He painted in oil, then pastel, created sculpture and even jewelry. He had a very strong sense of color and design and his wife said: "His emphasis was on color and textures. He painted to produce a feeling. He didn't care for replicating reality, he wanted to realize a feeling or make a statement." Kuka is a published poet in several languages, and the inventor of "Kuka-graphs," which are prints on embossed paper, creating a ghostlike image. His work received international attention, and when he died of a stroke at age 57, he was praised as a much revered leader in the Native American art community who had encouraged others to pursue their goals and develop their own styles. To quote a poem by King Kuka, published in 1991: "I will send my heart with the eagle carried on winds of trust, to be blessed by the sun and baptized in rain beneath nature's rainbow altar."

Montana Pipestone Indian Made Peace Pipe
Lot #613 (Sale Order 613 of 1226)
Made by Lone Wolf. Bowl is signed as shown. Born and raised on Birch Creek, the southern boundary of the Blackfoot Reservation of Montana, Lone Wolf was said to be one of the more colorful personalities of the Old West. In the "white man's" culture, he became famous for his illustration and commercial art skills as well as for fine art painting and sculpting of western scenes. He was also "one of the first Native American artists to paint in an academic manner and one of the first Native American professionals to utilize his own people as his primary theme" . . .(Gerdts 95) His given name was Hart Merriam Schultz, and he was the son of James W. Schultz and Fine Shield Woman. His father was the author of many books about Indian life, including the widely read "My Life as an Indian," and Lone Wolf was the illustrator, having begun painting at the age of eleven. His sketches on buckskin of western life were quite entertaining to local cowboys with whom he worked as a range rider. He began sculpting as a child with his grandfather, who taught him how to mold riverbank clay into animals. Lone Wolf was educated in Indian schools and his art was encouraged when he was still a youth by Thomas Moran who saw his work and gave him lessons and told him he should get further training. Charles Schreyvogel, noted western artist, gave Lone Wolf his first set of oil paints, and later support came from Theodore Roosevelt, Owen Wister, Buffalo Bill Cody, Charles Russell, Olaf Seltzer and Frederic Remington. In 1904, at age 24, he left the reservation as his mother had died, and his father had moved to the West Coast. That same year, he completed his first watercolor painting of an Indian subject, and he also joined his father in California. Beginning 1905, because of health-related reasons, he began spending his winters in New Mexico and Arizona, and in 1909 at the Grand Canyon, Lone Wolf met Thomas Moran, who encouraged him to become a professional artist. Following Moran's advice, in 1910 he started formal art training with attendance at the Los Angeles Art Students League. From 1914 to 1915, he studied in Chicago at the Art Institute. During this period, he illustrated more of his father's books, and one of them, Bird Woman, his father dedicated to him. Lone Wolf traveled and painted across the West and set up tepee studios at the Grand Canyon and Glacier National Park at Saint Mary's Lake and later in the mountains of Arizona. In 1916, he had a sell out show in Los Angeles, his first show in that city. There he took further lessons in sculpture and created a bronze titled Riding High which brought him much recognition. Another bronze, Camouflage, is at the Brookgreen Gardens in Brookgreen, South Carolina, and three of his paintings are in the collection of the University of Nebraska. His style was that of Remington and Russell, and he signed his works with a wolf's face. He lived the last fifteen years of his life in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife Naoma, and he is buried on the Blackfeet Reservation.

Dave Powell Pen and Ink Indian Drawing
Lot #623 (Sale Order 623 of 1226)
8.75" by 11.25" framed. Dave Powell is a native son of Montana, in a world of change and transition; few can say they have roots in a single geography that go back four generations. Dave's pedigree in art is just about as deep. He is the son of artists Ace Powell and Nancy McLaughlin Powell. That heritage leads back to the likes of Charlie Russell and Joe De Young, both famous for their abilities to "tell the story" through their art. His father, Ace Powell, was a prolific Western artist whose first childhood paint-box set was a gift from Charlie and Nancy Russell. Dave became a serious student of art in his mid-teens, and has been a professional artist most of his adult life. Over the years he has worked with Bob Scriver, Ned Jacob and Robert Lougheed. Dave will be the first to give thanks and credit to *CAA founder Joe Beeler for his longstanding friendship and guidance over many years. Because of his vast knowledge of the dress and habits of Western Indians, pioneers and cowboys, Dave is often called upon to provide costumes and props, and to give technical advice about authenticity for films and television. Productions he has worked on include Good Old Boys, Silverado, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams and Lonesome Dove. His interests in historic reenactments and rides have taken him all across the West, and these travels have afforded Dave the opportunity for inspiration. While his film work utilizes his experience and observation, his sculptures, paintings and illustrations are born of his imagination. Dave and his family now reside in central Montana, just a short drive from Charlie Russell's home in Great Falls. There he is constantly inspired by the very buttes and prairies that Russell himself loved and painted.

He is a dedicated historian, a story teller whose work transports you to a moment in time, a place and people, past and present. Tom has participated in several prestigious invitational shows including the Master of the American West at the Autry National Center, and over the course of his career he has received several awards for merit. He has been a member of the Rendezvous Group of Artists since 2000. A Montana native, he works from his studio outside Kalispell, MT.

13.25" by 17" framed. A native of the Midwest, growing up in Goodland, Kansas and now living in Loveland, Colorado Janeen Schissler grew up with an interest in the arts and wildlife. She began her professional career in art in 1975 as a commercial artist and illustrator. In 1980, Janeen began to develop her expertise in wildlife watercolors, specializing in birds and nature scenes. Always striving for perfection in the realism of her subjects she spends much time hiking and exploring with camera and plein air pack. Janeen's style is high detail realism in drybrush watercolor. Her watercolors depict coastal scenes of wildlife, historic homes and gardens. In Loveland, she and her husband founded the Schissler Academy of Fine Arts, teaching classical realist methods. The promotional information for the school states that the Schissler Academy of Fine Arts is based on the underlying principles of drawing and painting taught by master painters since the Renaissance. The study of line, tone-value and basic color theory are the foundation for all mediums. In 2008, Janeen became director of The Studio Art School in Bellevue, Washington. Janeen has work in collections in the United States and Canada and has shown throughout the western United States in Wildlife and Western art shows including the prestigious American Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Leslie Hamilton (Les) Peters Montana Mule Deer
Lot #725 (Sale Order 725 of 1226)
Oil on board. Very well executed. 16.5" by 20.5" framed. Leslie Hamilton "Les" Peters, 93, an Army veteran and longtime Great Falls artist, died of natural causes Thursday at his daughter's home in Boise, Idaho. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date in Great Falls. Cremation has taken place under the direction of Cremation Society of Idaho in Boise. The family of Leslie Hamilton Peters announces his passing at home with his daughter Lindsey and her husband Rich Linford, in Boise, Idaho, on the evening of Dec. 2, 2010. Les lived a long and wonderful life, leaving an amazing legacy through his artwork and his work at helping to establish the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Mont. Les was born July 18, 1917, in Great Falls. As a child, he loved the time he spent with his family at their cabin in the Little Belt Mountains east of Great Falls. He attended the University of Montana for a year and studied for one year at the University of Oregon before serving in the Army with the 11th Cavalry on the Mexican-California border. In 1942, the Cavalry was disbanded and Les was transferred to an infantry division, later serving in France and Germany with the 13th Armored Division in World War II. During his time in the Army, he met the love of his life, Barbara Lyons, of New York. Les and Barby were married in August of 1945. They moved to New York where Les studied for a year at the Art Students League and the Central Park School of Art. He and Barby returned to Great Falls, where they raised five daughters. Les immersed himself in the life he loved, seeing and painting wildlife and the Western lifestyle. Les continued to paint and sculpt throughout his life, giving generously of his time and talents, becoming a mentor and friend to many. On most days, Les could be found painting at his brick studio in Great Falls. Even though he may have been in the process of finishing up a painting to get it sent off to a gallery or art patron, he always pushed back his easel to welcome visits from his friends and those interested in seeing his artwork and extensive collection of Native American artifacts. Les's beautiful artwork can be found throughout Montana and in private collections throughout the United States. Some of Les's greater accomplishments were a 90-foot mural for the Florence Hotel in Missoula, which now hangs at the Missoula airport, dioramas in the State Historical Society in Helena and a small painting that was presented to President Eisenhower. He is survived by his five daughters: Suzy Peters (Bob Ruch) of Bainbridge Island, Wash., Deb Cole (Bob) of Missoula, Mont., Cindy Hilderbrand (Martell) of Billings, Mont., and Lindsey Linford (Rich), and Margot Nye (Tracy) of Boise, Idaho; grandchildren, Troy, Libby and Ford Clary, Travis and Michael Cole, Ryan and Abby Linford and Landon, Emily, Logan and Connor Nye; great-grandchildren, Parker and Whitney Clary; his sister, Mildred Duncan; and several nieces and nephews.

When his wife died, he studied art at Pennsylvania School of Art in Philadelphia from 1881-1882.

Richard Hunt Haida Kwakiutl Woodblock Print
Lot #755 (Sale Order 755 of 1226)
Signed as shown. 5.75" by 8.75". The chief carver at Thunderbird Park in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Richard Hunt is part of a family tradition of carving works devoted to the revival of traditional Northwest Coast artwork. His grandfather, Mungo Martin, was one of the last living carvers of Kwa-giulth tribe of northern Vancouver Island, and founder of the program at Thunderbird Park. Then his son Henry, Richard's father, took over. Of this lineage, Richard says: "My father promised my grandfather that one of us from the village would always be there." Richard Hunt grew up in Victoria in a family of 13 children and was the first member of his family to finish high school. In his youth, he crafted small boats and masks and also excelled in soccer, football, and basketball. In school, he was encouraged by a teacher who respected his culture and allowed him to spend school time working with his father. Today Hunt is one of the country's most distinguished totem carvers with poles in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. His 24-foot high, 7-foot wide pole in Duncan, British Columbia is the widest totem pole in the world. The Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale commissioned him to carve a sea monster mask and monumental carving of a killer whale and a thunderbird are installed at Vancouver International Airport.

Shorty Shope Cowboy Artist Pencil Drawing
Lot #757 (Sale Order 757 of 1226)
11" by 14". Signed as shown. Provenance: From the estate of a relative of Shorty Shope. Irvin "Shorty" Shope (b. May 11, 1900- d. 1977) Painted 11 Mountie subjects between 1959-1960. Irvin "Shorty" Shope was raised on a ranch in Montana, and fell under the influence of the western painter Edgar S. Paxson while still in high school. Between 1919 and 1930, Shope worked as a cowboy on Montana ranches, while studying art through a correspondence course. Beginning in 1925, he first exhibited his paintings in Montana, and received some commercial assignments. Having sold his first painting at the age of thirty, Shope returned to college, majoring in art and history. In Helena, Montana, Shope began working as a commercial artist for the state government, and at that time also spent a few months studying under the well-known illustrator Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central School of Art in New York. Shope's usual subjects were cowboys, the Blackfoot Indians, mountains and deserts, and all his works have a distinctly western look. The eleven paintings he created for The Northwest Paper Company in 1959 and 1960 also have the look of the west about them, often featuring the Mountie with Indians, ranchers, and cattle.

The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Woodblock
Lot #763 (Sale Order 763 of 1226)
Artist is Utagawa Hiroshige. 10.25" by 15.5". Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858, sometimes called Ando Hiroshige) was the second of the two great masters of the Japanese landscape woodblock print, after Hokusai. He is particularly known for his scenes featuring snow and rain, which feauture in many of his best and most famous images, and which has led to his becoming know as "the artist of rain, snow and mist". He was born (with the name Ando Tokutaro) in Edo (the name of Tokyo at that point in time), and originally was intended to follow the career of his father, a fire-watchman. After his parents' death in 1809, the orphan Hiroshige gravitated toward the art world, an inclination which had been encouraged by his father. In 1811, he became a pupil of the woodblock artist Toyohiro, who had been a fellow-pupil with the great woodblock master Tokokuni under Toyoharu (all of the Utagawa school, the latter being the founder). In 1812 he was formally adopted into the Utagawa school, with the name Utagawa Hiroshige. He continued to hold his post as a fire-watchman, though, until 1823. His early prints from the period 1818-1830 were initially book illustrations, and later mostly actor prints and bijin-ga, all in the classic Utagawa school style, created by such masters of the Utagawa school as Toyokuni. In the early 1830's, he started to discover himself as an artist, starting on the landscapes which became his forte, and changing his signature to Ichiyusai (sometimes Ichiryusai). His first landscape series was in 1829 or 1830, entitled Eight Famous Views of Omi, followed by a ten-print series Famous Places of the Eastern Capital, which in addition to showing the influence of Hokusai, also marked the first revelations of Hiroshige's true genius. In 1832 he made his first journey down the Tokaido highway, which resulting in his first great artistic success, the original Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, a series which catapulted him to contemporary fame and success. This series is is now also universally held among the greatest of all Japanese landscape prints, and one of the two best series he ever did. For the next twenty years, he continued to produce large numbers of landscape and other series, but principally landscapes, on a large number of different themes. Chief among them are a large number of other Tokaido series, among them so-called Gyosho Tokaido, the Reisho Tokaido and the Upright Tokaido. Hiroshige returned to the theme of the 53 stations again and again, producing a total of (by various countings) between 16 and 19 editions in all. Two of the best series on this theme are the so-called "Gyosho Tokaido" (~1840, named after the cursive style of calligraphy used in the title cartouches, literally 'grass style') and the Reisho Tokaido (1848-1854, named after the scribes' style of calligraphy), although the latter is rare, since the blocks for it were destroyed in a fire when only a few prints had been made. Also found fairly often, and of some artistic note, is the so-called Upright Tokaido (1855, in which the print is oriented in portrait mode (or tateban), not landscape (or yokoban), as are the other three series above). A more complete list of the various print series of Hiroshige, with references to the lists of titles and descriptions of individual prints is in The Colour Prints of Hiroshige by Edward F. Strange. He lived his entire life in Edo, until his death from cholera at the age of 62 in 1858.

Despite the fun she had with her first artistic encounter, her mother scolded her and she had to scrub down the wall. At times, her family did not have money for canvas. When her mother made new pillows, Grace would get the old striped pillow ticking and paint them white and use them for canvas to paint on.

JoAnne is Santee Sioux Indian and an enrolled member of the Sisseton- Wahpeton Oyate. She knew from early childhood that her destiny was to be an artist. After graduating from high school in Flandreau, South Dakota, she received art training at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota; Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota; and the Institute of American Indian Arts at Santa Fe, New Mexico. After working for the 3M Company, she decided to leave the commercial art field to devote her life full-time to a professional art career. JoAnne’s paintings depict her Native American heritage, portraying the rich traditional way of life in a contemporary style. Much of her work is spiritual in nature and timeless. Her work often employs rich, bold colors in a fluid motion presenting images of warriors and horses that seem to be approaching the viewer straight off the canvas. Her preferred medium is acrylic, but she has worked in several media. Her technique and mastery of handling a paint brush with precision are unique- a combination of controlled paint throwing and palette knife. Some see her style as evolving from realism to mystical impressionism. Her favorite artists are Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. JoAnne Bird is also an accomplished bronze sculptor. Her sculptures, many larger than life, can be found throughout the United States and Europe. She has accepted commissions from several municipalities, including a 9’ bronze sculpture of Chief Wabasha for the city of Wabasha, in Minnesota.

In an era of abstract expressionism characterized by some as “do your own thing regardless of art fundamentals,†Walker studied etching technique under Robert DeWeese. Long hours in the etching lab engraved the method in his heart and for years etching was his medium of choice. The watercolor prints and engravings of Audubon inspired Walker to develop his own style, uniting etching and watercolor in small edition etching prints pulled by hand and hand colored individually. After serving his turn in the Army, Jeff attended graduate school at Eastern Montana College, then taught art at Great Falls High. He left teaching after several years to pursue a full-time career creating art.? Although Jeff still does several etchings a year, a passion for oil painting has gradually taken over and Montana landscape oil paintings dominate his easel. Walker and his wife Julie live near Fort Shaw where the Sun River Valley offers endless vistas for painting. When the artist isn’t at his easel, look for him in the garlic patch, the garden, or the berry vineyard anticipating his next batch of wine. Walker is a longtime participant in the C.M. Russell Auction — both as an artist juried into the auction and as an exhibitor. He has exhibited his work at the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, and in museums and shows statewide: Artists for Open Spaces, Treasure State Invitational, C.M. Russell Museum Masters in Miniature, and the 2005 C.M. Russell Museum art exhibition of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Jeff is a founding member of the Montana Painter’s Alliance, a group of Montana artists who value camaraderie and on-location painting.

John Louis Clarke Bronze Mold Montana
Lot #956 (Sale Order 956 of 1226)
Artist is John Louis Clarke of Glacier Park Montana. Work is entitled "Grizzly Bear". This Mold was used to produce bronzes. The bear it was cast from is pictured but not included. How could a Native American boy lacking the ability to hear or speak and raised at the edge of what would become Glacier National Park grow to become one of the most celebrated and collected wood sculptors in American history? It’s quite a story. John L. Clarke (1881-1970) experienced a meteoric rise to national notoriety. Many individuals and the Native American experience molded this man—who was made with the bark on. John L. Clarke was born the grandson of Blackfeet Chief Stands Alone and infamous frontiersman Malcom Clarke (1817-1869). Malcom’s murder led in part to the 1870 Baker Massacre of 217 Blackfeet on the Marias River in northern Montana—an event burned into the memory of every Blackfeet. Andrew R. Graybill, author of The Red and the White: A Family Saga of the American West wrote, "The Clarkes thus offer a rich historical lens through which to view the shifting grounds of race in the West and the wider nation during the mid-nineteenth century. They are also ideal in another sense: their individual stories are enormously compelling, for both the historian and the general reader." Robbed of his hearing by scarlet fever at just two years old, John and his family moved from the hardscrabble ranch life of central Montana near Highwood to Midvale, now East Glacier Park, on the western end of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. As cultural historian and John L. Clarke biographer Larry Len Peterson wrote in Blackfeet John L. “Cutapuis†Clarke and the Silent Call of Glacier National Park: America’s Wood Sculptor, “He felt a visceral fascination with the natural world and found his home in the grandeur of Glacier country in northwestern Montana. Wilderness, especially big wilderness, is where wildness most often happens, and it was where Clarke discovered himself and subjects for his art.†After attending several deaf schools in North Dakota, Montana, and Wisconsin, Clarke worked in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a master wood carver for several years and then returned to Midvale around 1910, started sculpting, and never wavered. He rose to fame by applying his passions for the Glacier country, its wildlife, and Native Americans to the arts of wood carving, sculpture, sketching, and painting. Louis W. Hill, Great Northern Railway president and unflagging promoter of Glacier National Park, played a significant part in that rise by including Clarke in a clever and well-planned promotional campaign that was initiated soon after the park was created in 1910. John L. Clarke and his wife Mamie were very moved by the visits of their dear friend Charles M. Russell (1864-1926) who in 1918 urged Clarke to embrace his Native American heritage. Russell understood that it would play well to tourists visiting the park. Soon, Clarke’s carvings often were signed not only with “J. L. Clarke,†but also at times “Cutapuis,†Piegan for “Doesn’t Talk.†Taking a cue from Russell, Clarke eventually illustrated his letters to friends and patrons and also began using an Indian head cipher with his signature. Clarke and Joe De Yong would be close friends for fifty years. In 1918 there was national recognition for Clarke when a prestigious gold medal was presented by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia for a carving of a bear. Clarke exhibited there in 1917, 1918, 1922, 1923-1932, and 1935. Many more national honors would follow. Clarke created art that was collected not only by adoring tourists, but also by the famous such as his friends Charles M. Russell and Joe De Yong—who was also deaf; John D. Rockefeller, Jr.; and President William Harding, among many others. His 1956 masterwork, The Blackfeet Encampment, four feet by thirteen feet, graces the Montana Historical Society in Helena. Well-received retrospective exhibitions followed at the MHS in 1993/1994 and 2014. On March 1, 2003, John L. Clarke was inducted into the Gallery of Outstanding Montanans at the MHS. The citation for John L. Clarke in part read, “Facing odds that would have deterred lesser men, he crafted a career as a renowned Blackfeet artist. His legacy survives as a worthy inspiration for all Montanans.†Spokesman for the nominating committee, Kirby Lambert, gave special praise and lauded Clarke as “…one of my personal favorites†of the almost three dozen individuals in the Gallery.

Nice Serigraph by Archie Black Owl. Roadrunner. 10" by 12" including matte. Archie Blackowl was born in Custer County, Oklahoma, on November 23, 1911. Indigenous artists, such as Blackowl, grew up being sensitive to nature. Archie's culture made him sensitive to natural textures, which created a traditional Indian school of painting (much like the Kiowa art movement from Oklahoma). This included flat shaded native images and was an encouraged style in art competitions (Oklahoma 1946). For the public, it encompassed a "real Indian art" which Archie helped to contribute to. Though some scholars say this is the only legitimate art, it proved to be a unique piece of a large mosaic of art.
