Title
Medicine Crow after E.S. Curtis
Artist
Art Enrico
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
Medicine Crow was a warrior; the bird affixed to his head, a talisman of power. What struck me about Curtis' photograph was the similarity between his portrait of Medicine Crow and Georges Rouault's painting of The Old King. Both are portraits of men of power, but where Rouault depicts power as deadening and corrupting, Curtis sees dignity and grace. Not all power is equal, power over others corrupts, power over one's self ennobles.
