Andre Pater (Polish/American, born 1953) Study for Red Arrow, 2016 Charcoal, pastel, 36” x 26” Signed $12,000. – 15,000.“Depicted here is a Lakota warrior, approx. 1870, in full regalia; wearing a buckskin war-shirt decorated in locks of horsehair and scalps along his arm, and draped in a buffalo robe. Each aspect of this warrior’s dress signifies honor and accomplishment. In his right hand he holds a fan made from the right wing of an eagle, itself adorned with yellow and orange beads made from porcupine quills. On his chest hangs a peace medal alongside his war-whistle, one, a guarantee of peace given to prominent Native American war chiefs, the other, a tool to communicate during battle. It was fashionable to dress in an asymmetrical way; i.e, the seashell earring on only one ear, the marking on only one side of his face, the hair-braids on either side, one wrapped in skunk fur, the other in crimson wool, and lastly, the red arrow adorning his head, which signified his status in the war council. All of these elements are an expression of the noble nature of his culture, and his individual pride.” –Andre Pater
