From the Nick and Suzanne Nicholas Collection we have a Cherokee Framed and Matted Hand Signed William E. Bill Rabbit Print, visual measures 9''H x 6''W, framed measures 15''L x 12''W, Rabbit, whose animal surname came from his Cherokee ancestors, took more than a few years to develop his identity as an artist. In 1989 he was named Artist of the Year by the Indian Arts and Crafts Association. He has been named Master of the Five Civilized Tribes, a title shared by such well-known artists as Willard Stone, Bert Seabourn, Troy Anderson and Virginia Stroud. The Cherokee Nation named him a National Treasure in 2011. His work has been shown in numerous invitational exhibits including the John F. Kennedy Center and the Native American Center for the Living Arts in New York. His Easter Egg, created for an exhibit at the White House, is a part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute, along with those by Andy Warhol and Andrew Wyeth. His honors and shows are to numerous to list; however, he says he is successful. He was also a Vietnam Veteran. As it was made in 1990, it is a piece in demand. We found it in the inventory of a Gallery which we recently closed. It s new. This is an opportunity to acquire an older piece by a famous artist. This is a beautiful print which will add beauty to any home.
