Hanta-po (Get Out of the Way): Gallery Label - Current

Although Yellow was a sculptor before he became a draftsman, Hanta-po combines graphic forms of Plains pictographic art with sculpture. His three dimensional interpretation not only brings movement to the horse, but also preserves the pictographic tradition established by his ancestors.
