• JOHN SCOTT BRONZE - "EXPLOSION AT GATE
  JOHN SCOTT BRONZE - "EXPLOSION AT GATE 7" (2004)John J. Scott (American, 1919-2016). "Explosion at Gate 7" silicon bronze, 2004. Inscribed with the artist's signature and ram symbol as well as the title of the piece and the edition number 2/50 on the front edge of the integral bronze base of the piece. Skillfully and meticulously cast via the lost wax process, "Explosion at Gate 7" is an action-packed piece featuring a bronco rider bolting out the gate by American artist John Scott. Every nuance of horse and rider's motions is captured in this sculpture. The rider's body is practically mid-air with limbs extended and one arm raised to catch the cowboy hat rising above his head. The horse's mane is blowing this way and that, his torso twists dramatically, and the bucking bronco's legs are raised in a jump. Notice that the rider has actually lost his grip on the reins, and Scott has captured the rider's focused intensity with a knitted brow expression. Size: 10.25" L x 10.5" W x 15.125" H (26 cm x 26.7 cm x 38.4 cm); 16.5" H (41.9 cm) on included custom stand. John Scott was an American artist of Scottish heritage. He lived in a log cabin in the woods of Kittredge, Colorado that he built from the ground up and created sculptures and paintings inspired by the wildlife and scenery of Colorado and Wyoming. According to his wife Dorothy, "He was always working and always looking for something to throw himself into completely." Of note, John was immensely proud of his Scottish heritage, learned to play the bag pipes, and wore his Clan Scott tartan kilt. John was also an avid hunter of large game in Colorado and Wyoming as well as British Columbia and Alaska. Not only did John build his log cabin which he called "Brig-O-Doon" - he also built and operated his own studio and foundry. John created his bronzes via the lost wax process, a method first used by the ancients. His technique involved 24 steps from the creation of the mold to pouring the hot bronze to welding the piece back together to the embellishing with finishing touches. Indeed, John's passion for his chosen profession was boundless; in his words, "Art is a monster that sweeps over me and it seems I never satisfy that creative spirit." A little note on John Scott's signature ram symbol: Scott was greatly inspired by Charles Marion Russell whose emblem was a buffalo skull symbolizing his strong connection to the American West. Following in Russell's footsteps, Scott chose the ram as his symbol, because the Rocky Mountain bighorn ram with its massive curling horns is the state animal of his beloved Colorado. John Scott loved his homeland and his art has been exhibited throughout the American Southwest and beyond in reputable galleries of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and California.

• JOHN SCOTT BRONZE - "GREAT SPIRITS CATTLE

Inscribed with the artist's signature and ram symbol as well as the title of the piece and the edition number AP (artist's proof) 2/10 on the lower edge of the piece. Skillfully and meticulously cast via the lost wax process, "Great Spirits Cattle III" depicts a North American bison grazing in a field and demonstrates American sculptor John Scott's painstaking attention to the details of his subject's anatomy as well as behavior. Scott was a master at capturing various textures; please take a moment to appreciate the rendering of the animal's furry coat, smooth horns, and watery eyes as well as the veristic manner in which the bovine bows his head to the grass in order to consume vegetation in a no-nonsense manner. Scott's sculpture of this beautiful animal is so realistic that one can almost imagine a swish of the tail or a twitch of the ears. A striking bronze - an artist's proof from a limited edition of 10 - by John Scott, an artist who had a deep respect and connection to wild life.

  FRANCIS BLACKBEAR BOSIN (1921-1980) EXHIBITED GOUACHEFrancis Blackbear Bosin (1921-1980)Sing Back the Buffalo (1963)This original gouache painting on paperboard is alternately titled Singer with Buffalo Skull and signed lower right front. On the reverse is an exhibition label from a 1982 showing at the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art on the campus of Wichita State University.This painting was purchased directly from the artist's estate through the artist's stepson, David Simmonds.Blackbear Bosin was a Native American artist named for his Kiowa grandfather, a subchief named Tsate-Kongia (Blackbear), and was part Comanche as well. He served the United States in World War Two, and as an artist was largely self-taught. He created easel paintings like the example being offered here and painted murals on commission as well. His works were exhibited widely and garnered numerous awards. His three-dimensional subjects include a forty feet high Corten steel public installation in Wichita, Kansas titled Keeper of The Plains. A tabletop version of this sculpture is offered later in the auction.A book about the artist titled Blackbear Bosin: Keeper of the Indian Spirit by David Simmonds, Ph.D. and published by Carriage Factory Gallery, Newton, Kansas Fine Arts Association Inc, 2012. is the source for the following synopsis on the artist. A self-taught artist, Blackbear Bosin (1921-1980) immortalized the spirit of a bygone era in his art. He rose to national prominence after his award winning painting Prairie Fire was published in National Geographic magazine in 1955. His works were exhibited at museums across the country, including the National Gallery and Smithsonian Institution, and in 1965 he was the only American Indian invited to the White House Festival of Arts. His sculpture 'Keeper of the Plains' stands majestically in Wichita, Kansas, at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers, considered a sacred place by Native Americans.Exhibitions; Festival of Arts, White House, Wash., DC, 1965; Whitney Gallery of Western Art, 1966; Nat.
