12 1/2" by 15 1/2" framed. George Flett (1947 - 2013) was active/lived in Washington, New Mexico. George Flett is known for Indian ledger art painting, sculpture, beadwork, silversmithing. "Renowned Indian artist George Flett dies at 66," obituary, The Spokesman Review, newspaper, Spokane, Washington, February 1, 2013 Nationally recognized artist and Spokane Tribe member George Flett died Wednesday afternoon at the age of 66. Flett had diabetes since the early 1980s and was undergoing dialysis three times a week, said his daughter, Regina Flett. "His heart wasn’t strong enough for dialysis," his daughter said. “So he chose to come home.” His other children are George “Rooster” Flett Jr. and Phillip George Flett, and he has four grandchildren. Flett was skilled in sculpture, beadworking and silversmithing, but was perhaps best known for his ledger art. Ledger painting is a traditional American Indian art form dating to the mid-1800s when Plains Indians drew pictographic representations of heroic deeds and sacred visions on pages torn from U.S. Army ledger books.
