ACE POWELL ETCHING BISON BUFFALO SIGNED
ETCHING 5" X 10", Ace Powell (1912 - 1978), Montana. Bisons in the prairie. Signed in pencil lower right, numbered 23/50. Born in Tularosa, New Mexico, he became a painter of western action scenes, wild animals, and Indian figures in realistic style and in the tradition of Charles Russell. He was prolific, creating between 12,000 and 15,000 paintings and sculptures. He also was skilled at etching. As a boy, Powell had watched Charles Russell paint in Bull's Head Lodge in Apgar. In 1938, after a few private art lessons, Powell became a self-taught artist, following in Russell's footprints to sketch and paint what he knew best, the cowboy and the Indian with their horses in the region around Glacier Park.
