Original gouache on paper painting by Jim Tartsah, depicting a Native American ceremonial dancer in motion. This vintage work is beautifully presented in its original period frame with gallery backing from Wilson Gallery, Oklahoma City.
Rendered in bold graphic lines with strong red, black, and blue tones, the composition captures movement and rhythm typical of mid-century Southwestern art. The expressive brushwork and matte surface are consistent with gouache β giving the work richness and depth not seen in prints.
This is an original painting, not a reproduction or print.
