" Roar of the Falls " |
|
“I had a good time doing this painting,”
said Frank McCarthy. “It’s a combination of many forms of Western
action. There’s the galloping of the horses, but also the rushing of
the water and even the movement of the
clouds above.”

Guardians of the Waters |
|
The desert lands of the southwestern
United States contain a multitude of mysteries and artifacts of earlier
peoples. The images carved into the rock face in Guardians of the Waters
did, at one time, have specific meaning, but experts today do not agree on
their precise translation. McCarthy’s dynamic portrait of a band of warriors
racing past a group of symbols illustrates the grand scale and intriguing
style of some of these petroglyphs. Perhaps these warriors know their true
meaning. |

The Long Knives |
|
An army patrol scours the dry and dusty
but spectacular canyon country in search of Indians, who refer to the
cavalrymen as “Long Knives” for the sabers they carry. Though the men on
these exhausting patrols rarely found Indians, they did learn the lay of the
land and their geographic discoveries helped to create some of the first
maps of the Southwest. |

In the Land of the
Winter Hawk |
|
In the Land of the Winter Hawk depicts the
headlong flight of two Blackfeet warriors. As the two men race across the
frozen landscape, the only noises breaking the late morning stillness are
the quick breaths of horses and riders and the muffled sounds of hoof beats
on the snow. |

The Challenge |
|
'' The Challenge shows the start of a
confrontation between a Sioux warrior riding upstream and an enemy in the
forest up ahead. He waves his coup stick in defiance at the adversary, who
remains unseen by the viewer. The coup stick was important in Indian
warfare. A coup was like scoring a point in a deadly game of war; if a
warrior could touch the enemy with the coup stick it could be more important
than if he killed him.'' |

Big Medicine
Greenwich Workshop Anniversary
Masterwork Giclée Canvas |
|
“Plains Indian legend holds that the white
buffalo was such a rarity that even the Great Spirit was in awe of it,”
explained acclaimed artist Frank McCarthy. “The beast was valued by all the
tribes, especially the Mandans for whom a good skin could command the price
of ten to fifteen horses.
Displayed in a place of special importance, the hide was considered Big
Medicine. I modeled the white buffalo after a photo I took of the last known
albino. The chances of a white bison appearing in a herd are one in five
million, so I feel lucky to have seen one under any circumstances – almost
as lucky as the two Sioux hunters in Big Medicine must have felt.”
