Tom Two Arrows Thomas Dorsey Original Native American Painting Drawing RARE

Description

Up for sale is an incredibly rare original signed drawing of an Indian Chief by the Native American artist Tom Two Arrows or known by his Anglican name, Thomas Dorsey. This original composition is hand drawn on paper.  Very seldom do you see his early works for sale as most are in museums.  This measures 10 3/4 inches by 13 3/4 inches.  Done in chalk with maybe a touch of crayon.  Excellent condition with some yellowing to paper.  Personalized in pencil "for our friends the Grones Family".  Signed with his early signature of Tom with two arrows.
He has won many honors in painting competitions for Indians and Oklahoma and his traditional paintings are in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Gallery, Museum of the American Indian, New York, Philbrook Art Gallery, Tulsa and the Albany Institute of Art.  His ambition was to acquaint his fellow Americans with American Indian Culture by means of art.  Other works by Mr. Dorsey, his Anglicized name, include murals for the Scandinavian Airlines of New York and the Consulate of Pakistan.  This painting is fantastic and EXCEEDINGLY RARE! The condition is good but shows some yellowing to the sheet. The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this fine work of art but if you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to purchasing!
