Entitled "Jerking the Line". Depicting Indians on horseback. On mat board. 34-1/2" wide x 19-1/2" high. Ace Powell (1912-1978). Lonely Warriors astride horses riding through cold nights past warm dimly lit cabins are often depicted in Ace Powell’s paintings. He painted what he knew from tales he had heard sitting near old warriors when he was growing up upon the Blackfeet Reservation. Soon after Ace’s birth in 1912 in New Mexico, his father brought the family to Montana. As an adult, Powell found work as a cowboy on a horse ranch, then as a small rancher, and eventually as wrangler for Glacier National Park Service. Powell, like many others upon the frontier, followed the “Rounder” path of marriages, army service, hard drinking and cowboying. Many works by Ace Powell are in the permanent collection of the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, Montana.
