Literature:
<i>Scouting (The Marksman)</i> reveals the accurate documentation of the Indian lifestyle that was the hallmark of the work of John Hauser. He took great pride in his factual and detailed portrayal of the Indians. Hauser began specializing in paintings of American Indians during travels in Arizona and New Mexico in 1891. He frequently visited Indian reservations in the West so he could correctly document their village life and hunting lifestyle. He also painted a series of portraits of notable chiefs, including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, and American Horse. In 1901, Hauser was given the name of Straight White Shield when the Sioux adopted him into their nation.
John Hauser was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and showed early promise in art. By the time he was
15, he had studied at the Ohio Institute of Mechanical Arts and the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in
1873 he became the pupil of portrait specialist Thomas Noble at the McMicken Art School in
Cincinnati. Europe beckoned in 1880 and Hauser practiced under the tutelege of teachers at the Royal Academy of Art in Munich, Germany, followed by further study in Dusseldorf and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. After returning to Cincinnati, he took work with the public school system as a drawing instructor, saving enough to begin his Western travels.—GH

<p>3. A buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. If paying by cash or check, the buyer's premium is 20% of any successful bid price for lots under $50,000, 15% of any successful bid price for lots over $50,000 up to $100,000, and 12% of successful bid prices above $100,000.

If any dispute arises after the sale, the Santa Fe Art Auction's sale record shall be final and conclusive. The Santa Fe Art Auction, in its discretion, may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at the auction; however, the Santa Fe Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
