Lame Deer

Robert S. Neuman’s sense of humanism comes to fore in this series of works inspired by the American West. During a visit to Lame Deer, Montana, near the site of Battle of Little Big Horn, he was struck by the quiet plight of the Native American community there.

Canvases from this series split sky from earth and populate tumultuous chromatic landscapes with the skeletal outlines of teepees that represent material, cultural and spiritual loss.
