- Lot Description
Native American, Pacific Northwest, Coast Salish, signed by Francis Horne Sr., active in the later 20th/early 21st century CE. A tall, carved wood totem pole featuring a bear, an owl, a human wearing elaborate moccasins, and an eagle. The eagle's wings spread wide from the top of the pole, which stands atop an integrated wooden plinth. The carving is more shallow than is commonly seen on this style of artwork, giving the piece a unique look. Francis Horne Sr.'s signature is incised into the lower back of the piece. He is a member of the Coast Salish tribe who is known for his contemporary interpretations of traditional Pacific Northwest art. Size: 15.15" W x 22.95" H (38.5 cm x 58.3 cm)
A quote from the artist, "I am a self-taught artist, developing and refining my techniques and creativity through study and admiration of the powerful and beautiful Salish art form. I carve with cedar and alder wood, producing three dimensional poles and masks. Every graphic and carving is an original and unique creation reflecting my Salish heritage and tradition. With the re-emergence of little known Salish Art we are laying the foundation, honoring and recognizing past, present and future Salish artists. Scholars, private collectors, galleries and the general public are witness to the development of tradition in the making." -Francis Horne Sr.
Provenance: private Szurleys collection, Polson, Montana, USA
