Like his great paintings of Canyon de Chelly in Northern Arizona, Gerard Curtis Delano’s Moving Some Cattle is less interested in the figures and more fascinated by their scale within the vastness of the West. Although he studied with artists such as N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Vincent DuMond and others, Delano emerged from his art education with his own distinct style that revealed his attraction to the modernism that could be found in sandstone cliffs, cowboys riding through empty valleys and Native Americans of the Southwest.
