Here is another statue from the Allan Houser collection that I found at the Hermosa Inn in Phoenix. This one is called "Prayer". There was no date on these statues so I'm not sure where these statues fall in the long career of Houser. I do know that his work ranges from intricate and life-like scenes to the ultra-modern.
This one really does portray a sense of prayer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I LOVE his ultra-modern pieces, especially in Santa Fe, this is a beauty also! I will be a fan of his pieces forever, regardless of when and where he created them. There is something so magical about Native American artwork!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really striking sculpture Sharon, it fits perfectly into this natural environment.
ReplyDeleteAllan Houser has an empathetic artist. I will have to check him out ...does he have a website Sharon?? Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteMary, Houser passed away in 1994 but there is a site featuring his work here: http://www.indianart.us/
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece and a perfect setting for it, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fine statue. I really like Houser's work.
ReplyDeleteI love this.
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures feel so much at home in this kind of nature.
ReplyDeleteThe native American heritage always fascinates me. This and the previous post are two fine examples.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these sculptures are beautiful.
