(Fine Art Print) Ledger Art on Antique Sheet Music ~ Nation of Legacy

Seven Fires Art is very pleased to offer for sale this unique example of traditional Ledger Art by noted Lakota Artist Merle Locke!

Nation of Legacy

A winyan with fancy dress and beautifully decorated blanket is surrounded by green dragonflies, star, buffalo and medicine wheel.

Locke offers a different take on traditional ledger art by using vintage sheet music to demonstrate the divide between Native and white culture. Mr. Locke tells us that Native children in boarding schools often used sheet music or pages torn from hymnals to practice the painting and drawing taught to them by their parents.
