Antique Set of 2 Framed E I Couse Native American Prints Indian Fine Art Print

Description: Antique Set of 2 Framed E I Couse Native American Prints Indian Fine Art Print. This set includes 2 rare antique prints by famous painter E I Couse. The imagery reflects native american culture. I did some research, and it seems to be quite difficult to find antique prints of his work, which makes these historically collectible to people interested in his art. Some of his original work can fetch up to 6 six figures in a reputable auction. With the frames, the taller print, roughly measures 20 3/8" X 12 5/8". The other measures 13 3/8" X 16 3/4". The wider print shows the artist name in the bottom left corner along with the date of 1910. I can't spot the name on the other print but I'm assuming it's probably by the same artist since they are both in the same frames. I'm not entirely sure if 1910 is the year of the original painting or the year of the print itself. However, it's evident these are very old just by viewing the frame and backing. If 1910 isn't acurate, I would bet they are at least from the 1920's or 30's. They both have a bit of wear but that is expected for their age. The backing is nailed in place and they both have a piece of wire for hanging. This is a wonderful set to add to your collection. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try my best to answer. Thanks for looking. Short Biography of the artist: Eanger Irving Couse was an American painter best known for his realistic depictions of Native Americans and landscapes of the Southwestern United States. Born on September 3, 1866 in Saginaw, MI, Couse went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago and later under William-Adolphe Bougereauat the Acadmie Julian in Paris. Upon his return to the United States from France after nearly 10 years abroad, he was introduced to the landscapes of the West while visiting his father-in-laws sheep ranch in Oregon. In 1902, his friends Ernest BlumenscheinandJoseph Henry Sharp invited Couse to visit Taos to paint. Over the following years, he visited each summer, spending the rest of his time in New York. Between 1922 and 1934, his works were used by the Santa Fe Railway as advertisements to draw tourists from the Eastern states. The artist died on April 26, 1936 in Albuquerque, NM. Today, Couses' works are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma, among others.
