Description:
Limited print 40/1000; 19" x 23", frame 29” x 33”. Well framed and matted. The history of the Blackfoot people provides us with written accounts of the Weather Dancer. He was a priestly figure, charged with the responsibility to keep the weather favorable at the Sundance Ceremony. Good weather was essential for the timely arrival of green grass and the buffalo. There are written accounts of Weather Dancers parting a storm, sitting amidst a deluge of rain or hail without being dampened or struck, and the storm coming to an inexplicably hasty but merciful end. Terpning says that he originally planned to paint the Weather Dancer in an interior setting, but the very image of the finished painting came to him one night while asleep. Hence the title “The Weather Dancer Dream.” Howard Terpning is considered on the finest artists of the plains Indian history and he has won many prestigious awards for his art. His use of color and ability to evoke emotion are so strong he has become known as the “Storyteller of the Native American.”
