Item Details
Description
Edgar Samuel Paxson
Montana
1852-1919
Depicts a Native American man with strong side profile, long thick black hair and single feather adornment over a rich blue background. Paxson was a notable artist of the vanishing West born in New York with his early art education received from his father, a sign painter and carriage decorator. The attraction of the West was heightened by Paxon's interest in Wild West novels. In 1879, Paxson made the move and later sent for his wife and child after settling in Montana to work as a commercial artist and sign painter. In 1881, Paxson moved to Butte and then later Missoula. His studios became highly popular attractions for artists visiting the West. Paxson was most interested in painting the portraits of members that participated in the Custer battle, which led to him befriending and painting Gall, Chief of the Sioux.
