Vanishing Culture
 VANISHING CULTURE 16X20 WITH A 11X14 INMAGE SIZE. ON #300 COLD PRESS ILLUSTRATION BOARD IN FINE PENCIL. 155.00. VANISHING CULTURE IS A STATEMENT ABOUT THE LOSS OF THE GREAT HORSE CULTURES OF AMERICA. A PROUD AND INDEPENDENT PEOPLE WHO RELIED ON THE BUFFALO FOR EVERYTHING IN DAILY LIFE. THEIR FREEDOM TO ROAM THE COUNTRY AT WILL FOLLOWING THE GREAT HERDS, THEY KNEW NO BOUNDARIES, AND DID NOT RECOGNIZE A GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE TOWARDS LAND OWNERSHIP. THIS DRAWING IS REPRESENTATIVE OF A CULTURE WHICH WAS STRIPPED OF ITS FREEDOM AND ROBBED OF ITS SELF-RELIANCE. THE GREAT HERDS ARE GONE RUNNING INTO THE MEMORIES OF AN OLD WARRIOR, LEFT ONLY WITH THE BLEACHED SKULLS OF ANIMALS, SHOT FOR THEIR HIDES AND TONGUES. A WAY OF LIFE GONE FOREVER.
