<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1556586, member: 6444&quot;]Found this painting by Godfrey Broken Rope, 1908-1989, Brule Sioux/Lakota (so say online sources). He had a somewhat sad but interesting life (<a href="https://www.city-data.com/forum/people-search/8004-godfrey-broken-rope.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.city-data.com/forum/people-search/8004-godfrey-broken-rope.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.city-data.com/forum/people-search/8004-godfrey-broken-rope.html</a>). An image search for his paintings shows only rather flat landscapes, which he apparently produced a lot of, probably because those were salable to the general public: &quot;Godfrey Broken Rope was a preacher, as well as a painter. He used to paint primarily landscapes on some type of fiberboard as he gave his testimony, having been an alcoholic prior to his conversion experience.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Also found this justanswer citation (<a href="https://www.justanswer.com/appraisals/7i534-original-painting-story-little-big-horn.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.justanswer.com/appraisals/7i534-original-painting-story-little-big-horn.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.justanswer.com/appraisals/7i534-original-painting-story-little-big-horn.html</a>) to a painting similar to the one I found. Pictograms in a loop with translation on back. Unfortunately the links don&#039;t work, but mine is not the same painting since there are differences (size and mine has his writing on the back rather than on a typed sheet). Does anyone know anything beyond the citations I found? Does anyone think the appraisal ($750-1000) is relevant?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]229304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]229305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]229306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]229307[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
