Bob Coronato - Today We Will Look Our Best, ...And You Will Take Me Where I Want To Go - ... Tomorrow They Will Tell Stories Of Our Deeds! Limited Edition Canvas - Imaage Size: 29"W X 29"H. - Edition Size:35 - Published From The Artist'S Original Work. - When Spanish Explorers Came To The Land That Would Become America, They Brought Horses With Them Clad In Armored Masks. Native Americans Soon Adapted The Mask For Their Own Horses, Influenced By Visions And Decorated Motifs Of Hail, Thunder And Lightning. The Armor Adorned With These Symbols Of Power Could Transform The Horse And Rider Into Great Warriors With Extraordinary Abilities And Possibly Even Carry Them Into The Space Between This World And The Next, Where Bullets And Arrows Could Not Hurt Them. To This Day, Plains Indians Decorate Their Horses For Ceremony And Adorn Them With Images Of Power. Bob Coronato Was Inspired To Paint This Piece While Watching Relay Races At Crow Fair. He Realized, He Says, How Much The "Horse Culture Is Very Much The Same Today As It Was In The Past."………Bob Coronato Biography “We Are At A Clash Of Two Different Times: The Traditional ‘Cowboy’N’ Ways Are Being Overridden By The Modern, Quicker Technologies. This Is The Focus Of My Paintings,” Coronato Says. “I Try To Document Moments In Time That Show The Ways Of A Fading Lifestyle That So Many People Have Admired.” The Subjects Of Coronato'S Work Remind People That There Is Still A Remote, Free West. The Question The Artist Is Asked Most Often Is, “Do They Really Do That?” Coronato Reflects, “Yes, They Do - But Not For Much Longer. The ‘West’ Is Alive, It’S Just Hiding In Small Corners Of Our Country, Trying To Desperately Hang On And Not Be Forgotten.” Coronato Lives Half The Year In Remote, Eastern Wyoming And Half The Year In Southern California. Upon Graduating From Otis/Parsons Art School, He Moved To Wyoming To Pursue A Career As A Cowboy Artist. His Work Has Been Shown At The High Plains Museum, The Coeur D'Alene Art Auction And In 1995 Won Best Of Show As The Pendleton Round Up Art Show.
