Ace Powell (1912-1978) Madonna and Child 28" x 22" oil on canvas Signed lower left $1,500-2,500 Provenance: Letter included with lot. "Painting finished February 8, 1972. The picture called "Madonna and Child" was deliberately painted rough to give the primitive feeling to the subject matter because during the period of time between 1930-1955 the Indian people were trying to learn to live the white mans way. They lived in one roomed shacks, usually with a tipi in the back yard. they were given army surplus blankets [sic], many times well used. The squaws would then take bits of bright cloth and sew it to the blanket, resulting in a quilt effect which often times turned out quite attractive."
