Untitled1965–198613 1/2 x 14 3/4 " (34.3 x 37.5 cm)Paint on metal and plasticGift of Audrey B. Heckler2022.6.510Donor provided: Enamel and matte paint on metal, with plastic and metallic string
Flattened, cut, and painted sheet of metal depicting a humanoid figure holding a bow and arrow. The metal is likely galvanized steel (steel coated with zinc). The figure is a stereotypical representation of a native or indigenous North American wearing a feathered headdress and leg coverings. The figure's eyes are fashioned out of a blue plastic buttons and adhered to the figure using a plastic covered metal wire, popularly known as a twist tie. It is uncertain what type of paint was applied to the metal, but the glossy quality of both the red and orange paint suggest the use of enamel. The artist used a matte finish paint for the blue, black, and white areas.1574628379David ButlerSculptureCopyright for this work is under review.
