About the Item

"Snow Bird" - Portrait of a Native American Woman in Acrylic on Canvas Rare original work by the artist. Detailed and evocative depiction of a Native American elder by Frank Howell (American, 1937-1997). Simultaneously minimalist and detailed, this screen print, of the original painting, depicts an older Native American woman with flowing white hair. and painted white face. The background is a warm grey void, with slight variations in tone and some paint spatters. She is wearing a robe that blends in with the background, making her hair and skin stand out. This piece was completed in 1995, two years before Howell passed away; possibly one of his last works executed. Titled, signed, and dated in the lower right corner: Snow Bird Frank Howell 1995 (not a print but original acrylic on canvas) Gift inscription from the artist on verso. Presented in a wood frame with a scalloped linen liner.
