Cheyenne Medicine Tepee

Additional Information

Provenance:
Jim Fowler's Period Gallery West, Scottsdale, AZ, 1983
Private collection, Iowa

Cheyenne Medicine Tepee, also known as The Medicine Man, is a painting that originated during Joseph Henry Sharp’s frequent and prolonged trips to the Crow Agency in Montana starting in 1901. While Sharp was known for helping start the Taos Art Colony, his work in Montana on the Crow Agency was a significant part of his creative output. Sharp used similar names on many paintings and also retitled paintings, so it’s difficult to track individual works across his long career. This painting’s title and dimensions match an entry in Forrest Fenn’s Teepee Smoke: A New Look Into the Life and Work of Joseph Henry Sharp, which lists the year of its completion as 1923, the final year Sharp spent at the Crow Agency.
