36 James Boren 1921-1990 Children of Las Norias Watercolor 19 x 26 inches Signed lower right and dated 1975 Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500 During his life, James Boren was widely admired by his peers and collectors of his work, but the painter could have not foreseen the path that led him to that point. In his youth he sought out training to become an illustrator, an endeavor put on hold by the outbreak of World War II, during which Boren served as a Marine. After the war, he completed school and began teaching, followed by a stint starting in 1965 as the first art director at the Cowboy Hall of Fame, now the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, in Oklahoma City. Within three years, Boren’s cowboy paintings were a hit and he quickly drew the attention of the still-young Cowboy Artists of America, who inducted him into the group in 1968. He was a prominent fixture in the group until his death in 1990.

66 G. Harvey 1933-2017 Texas Sunrise Oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches Signed lower left; Titled, signed and dated 1990 verso Estimate: $28,000 - 38,000 The pride of Texas, G. Harvey, turned his attention to the Lone Star State in Texas Sunrise, a painting that shows the peace and majesty of the early morning light rising over distant hills. “When I painted pure landscapes years ago, I tended to show them during bright daylight conditions,” the artist writes in The Golden Era: The American Dream—G. Harvey. “Over the years, I’ve come to enjoy the moodier times of the day, particularly twilight—those brief minutes when the afterglow of sunset reflects off mountains or in the mists giving a scene an almost ethereal mystery.” Harvey was born in Texas Hill Country, not far from the start of the famous Chisolm Trail. His grandfather had been a cowboy and was one of the last to drive cattle across the Red River, and his father spent most of his life on ranches—between the two of them, there was never a dull moment during storytime at the Harvey household. For the artist, born Gerald Harvey Jones, he knew he wanted to be an artist early, and after earning a degree in industrial arts he started teaching and focusing on his own art on the side. He entered his first major show in 1965 and promptly won the top award. His career would stretch another 50 years.

67 Harry Jackson 1924-2011 Bronc Stomper Bronze, cast 19 20 inches high Signed and dated ‘59 Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000 In the book Harry Jackson, the artist explains that the “stomper” in Bronc Stomper refers to a cowboy who can break horses quickly. “So the hand who convinces horses to work their hearts out willingly, and does it in no time flat, is called a buster, a breaker, a twister, or a stomper,” the artist says. Jackson would know this firsthand after running away from home at 14 years old to work on a Wyoming ranch. The artist had a colorful and at times troubled life—he was severely wounded in the Pacific Theater during World War II, was friends with Jackson Pollock, had six wives and was thrown out of the Cowboy Artists of America–and is highly regarded for his paintings and bronzes.

After being raised and educated in Chicago, Metz served as a commercial artist and director before later moving to Arizona to devote himself to painting. One of the major projects he completed was the Improbable Journey series showing Lewis & Clark’s expedition into the core of the country. Made up of dozens of paintings, the series would be turned into a book to show his storytelling vision. S C O T T S D A L E A R T AU C T I O N

99 Martin Grelle b. 1954 Near Water’s End Oil 24 x 48 inches Signed lower left; Signed and titled verso Estimate: $50,000 - 75,000 Born and raised in Clifton, Texas, Martin Grelle had early encounters with many of the famous painters who had come up in front of him in The Texas Hill Country. As a teenager he remembers James Boren coming into his family’s service shop with a flat tire. It took all his courage to muster out a word to the well-known artist. Later, after turning his attention completely to art, he would have a chance to study under Boren and also another local art hero, Melvin Warren. Both artists would guide Grelle forward until he was on his feet and selling art. His rise from there was fast, but also measured—Grelle let his work grow steadily and organically. By 1995, he was voted in the Cowboy Artists of America, and he has served in the group ever since, including in major periods of growth and development. Recently, in both 2017 and 2021, Grelle held two monumental solo shows at Legacy Gallery that further cemented his place among the greats in Western art.

119 T.C. Cannon 1946-1978 His Hair Flows like a River Woodblock Print 22 x 17 inches Signed lower right, under print Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000 Provenance: Altermann Galleries Regarded by many scholars and experts as one of the most important Native American painters of the 20th century, T.C. Cannon was surely set to become an iconic Southwestern modernist had he not died at the age of 31 in an early morning car accident near Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1978. The Kiowa painter, and Vietnam veteran with the 101st Airborne, was known widely for his unique views of Native American life, as well as his vivid use of color. This woodblock version of His Hair Flows Like a River is almost identical to a larger painted version with a light-purple background completed in 1977. “…Color is the most immediate of the artist’s devices, and it reaches straight into the viewer’s mind, connecting with all emotions: fear, joy, pleasure, pain, and mixtures of these particular emotions,” writes Rosemary Ellison in T.C. Cannon: He Stood in the Sun. “T.C.’s art is very beguiling and very seductive because of his use of color.”

120 Robert Daughters 1929-2013 Poppy Garden Oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches Signed upper left; Titled verso Estimate: $6,000 - 9,000 In 1953 painter Robert Daughters discovered Taos, New Mexico, as part of the second generation of artists who were drawn to the beautiful and historic area to pursue creative endeavors in the Southwest. Hailing from the Midwest, Daughters found the land in New Mexico a fitting subject for his unique forms of impressionism and expressionism. He would even invent the technique he called “cloisonnism,” where blocks of jewel-like color were outlined in black. Daughters would bring his unique perspective of the West to the Taos Six, the influential group of artists that also included Walt Gonske, Rod Goebel, Ron Barsano, Ray Vinella and Julian Robles.

A peaceful quality is ever present in the works of Martin Grelle. He rarely paints action scenes, and even rarer still are paintings showing battles, death and violence. The Native Americans in his works are certainly capable of leaping into action at a moment’s notice, but the artist allows them restful innocence as they ride through their lands, track meat for the tribe, trade supplies with white settlers or give offerings in ceremonies big and small. It’s those quiet moments that allow Grelle opportunities to tell deeper stories about his subjects, particularly in a piece like Wolves at Blacktail, which conveys a lot with very little. “That’s what I’ve been focusing on is storytelling. There are great stories everywhere, you just have to find them,” Grelle says in the October 2021 issue of Western Art Collector. “For me, it all comes down to strength and honor. The Native Americans I paint were all about strength and honor, but also about compassion, even if they were living in times of violence or fighting. There was order in their lives, from the interactions between men and women, to children and grown-ups—it is all very interesting to me, and very admirable. These were times of horrible conflict, but they responded to it exceptionally, even amid toil and hardship.”

Although he was born in Texas, the cowboy way of life did not hit him all at once, but research and copious amounts of reading allowed him to see the historical importance of cowboys within American history. Later, after molding some of his daughter’s clay from school, he realized he could make a go at art professionally. By 1965 he was in the Cowboy Artists of America. He was known for producing a number of bronze busts of Western figures of all types.

The leader and warrior, almost always shown with a long lance with dangling feathers, was a favorite subject of both George Catlin and Karl Bodmer. Four Bears was known as a fierce fighter and had violent interactions with the Cheyenne, Sioux, Arikara and Assiniboine.

174 Ray Swanson 1937-2004 Riding Old Burro Oil on canvas 36 x 48 inches Signed lower right Estimate: $20,000 - 30,000 Ray Swanson’s work rarely dialed back time to look at Native Americans from decades or centuries prior. He painted what he was seeing in front of him. He painted the present. Swanson also painted children for much of his career, everyone from teens charged with watching flocks of sheep down to toddlers scampering around their parents feet in their traditional little outfits. “Children reveal the beauty, tradition and promise of the Navajo tribe,” Ray Swanson wrote in The Art of Ray Swanson: Celebrating People and Lifestyles.

177 Melvin Warren 1920-1995 A Storm is Coming Pastel 20 x 30 inches Signed/CA lower left and dated 1973 Estimate: $6,000 - 9,000

Where many artists started in the east and gradually worked their way west, Melvin Warren had an opposite approach: He was born in California and then moved to Arizona and New Mexico before finally settling in Texas’ famous Hill Country. After World War II, during which Warren served in the Air Force, the artist began pursuing art full time as he painted various aspects of the Southwest, including cattle drives, scenes from Mexico and along the border, and his incredible nocturne works. Warren, whose works were collected by President Lyndon B. Johnson, was elected into the Cowboy Artists of America in 1968. He served in the group until his death in 1995.

The Surprise Sight Size: 19 ½ x 27 inches

At just 22 years old, Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) opened up a lithography shop in New York City. Business was almost immediately booming as the young artist produced hand-colored prints showing American life in many forms, from bucolic farm scenes on the East Coast to daring adventures into uncharted lands on the western frontier. As the shop grew in popularity, Currier would eventually bring in his younger brother Charles to help fill orders and organize printings. By 1957, James Merritt Ives (1824-1895) was made a partner after serving as the firms’ accountant (and Charles Currier’s brother-in-law). The images were cheaply produced, ensuring their wide popularity, and they were of a high quality, which made them collectible—it was common to see Currier & Ives prints hanging in many households during the second half of the 19th century. The works were done on stone printing plates that took considerable time to finish, and then each print was handpulled and hand-colored by Currier & Ives’ staff of in-house artists. The imagery for the prints was obtained from many of the major artists of the period, including Eastman Johnson, James E. Butterworth, George Inness, George Catlin and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. By the time Currier & Ives closed up shop in 1907, the company had produced more than 7,000 images, many of them showing various aspects of the American experience.

191 George Catlin 1796-1872 Collection of six colored lithographs Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000

Sight size 13 x 18 inches (2), 12 x 18 ½ inches, 13 x 18 ½ inches (2), 12 x 17 ½ inches

George Catlin first began exploring the American wilderness and documenting Native Americans in 1830 on a journey up the Missouri River with William Clark, of Lewis & Clark fame. The trip would prove to be a profound experience for the 34-year-old artist. Eight years later he would return to the East Coast with an explosive body of work that would stun the world. Many of his most famous works, including several of these prints showing buffalo hunters, would appear in his North American Indian Portfolio: Hunting Scenes and Amusements of the Rocky Mountains and Prairies of America. Catlin would write in the introduction: “Man, in the vast plains and mountains of America, has been found, as in other parts of the world, maintaining his ascendency over all the beasts of the forest, by the aid of his reason and invention, which have enabled him to construct his weapons, and to employ the means to convert the various animals to his aid and his subsistence in the numerous modes represented in the following pages.” Of particular note in this grouping is Attack of the Grizzly Bear, which was originally Plate 19 in the North American Indian Portfolio. Catlin writes: “From the entirely intractable and ferocious nature of this animal, which has defeated every effort to tame or domesticate it; and from its enormous strength, and the length and sharpness of its claws, which are used like those of the tiger, to seize and tear its prey, it is more feared than any other animal of the American prairies; and hunters… generally evade a scuffle with it, except when, as in the present instance, there are a number present, mounted and armed with the lance.” 192 George Catlin 1796-1872 Collection of three lithographs Sight size 14 x 19 inches each Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000 Ball Play
