This dignified portrait of an Indian with a rifle was most likely
painted when Walt Louderback was in Paris in the early part of the
twentieth century. The word Paris is indistinctly written on the verso.
Pulling from Post-Impressionist painting styles of the day, Louderback
describes the sitter in quick, brushstrokes with areas of heavy impasto.
His composition is structured into large areas of color that contrast
with the adjoining areas, forming a painting that is as abstract as it
is representational. Although stoic-looking, the sitter's gaze reveals
his emotional depth and strength. The large white area in the lower left
of the composition may have been left vacant so an Art Director could
place type over it. If that was the case, then this was an assignment
painting done for a publication. Signed lower left. Overall condition is
good. The canvas has surface irregularities and some undulations and
scattered craqueleur. There is scattered uneven varnish, with some
yellowing, mostly visible on close inspection. A light cleaning would
make the painting sing.
