Description:
|
From: American Indian Painters, Vol. 1, p. 15: He[re] we present a painting by Allan Bushyhead, another son of the lordly Cheyennes. His "modern Dancer" is included in this volume because of the beauty of its color and decorative quality, and also because paintings by Bushyhead are rare. He used a figure in a typical modern dance step and transformed it into a design approaching the abstract. Bushyhead is a full blood Oklahoma Cheyenne. He was born in 1917 and "used up" his childhood in Oklahoma. He went to the Indian School in Santa Fe. In the late thirties his work was widely exhibited, even as far afield as Paris, France. As a creative artist he has been rather inactive for several years, which is a great pity as he is unquestionably very talented. He served with the Tenth Army at le-Shima and Okinawa during the war. (Collection, Oscar Brousse Jacobson)
