Artwork Description
“These two Northern Plains warriors are following a trail that was probably a game trail originally,” Terpning relates about the painting. “Since they are using a pack horse, they are no doubt traveling a considerable distance. Snow melt or heavy rains could sometimes produce such a volume of water that it wiped away everything in its path. This landscape has been changed by the destructive forces of the water and what used to be a natural bridge of sorts has been completely washed away, so that these men must seek another route to reach their destination.”
This painting, and over 80 others was on display in Howard Terpning: Tribute to the Plains People, a retrospective museum show in 2012 at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles, CA.
