High
Place by John Buxton
The Native American faced a reevaluation of his very existence. The white man was crowding his homeland and changing the old ways of his people. Sporadic coexistence was proving tentative and often did not favor the original people. What movement of the clouds or spirits would ease his foreboding?
“While working
with National Geographic,” says John Buxton, “I learned their philosophy:
make it correct for all time. I like that. After being a successful
illustrator for over thirty years, I kindled a latent admiration
for going that extra mile. I apply this approach to painting the
young America of the 18th century.” |
