Title is The Environment: Be a Shepherd. 34" by 46" framed.
Provenance Tootie Myhre Bigfork Montana Estate. Carol Tootie Myhre grew up in Olympia, WA where she became an excellent golfer, a sport she continued to enjoy. After graduation from Western Washington State College, she worked at the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind. Tootie and the late Eric Myhre, a Montana advertising executive, shared a passion for art and fine things. They had an extensive collection of fine art and incorporated it into their daily living between Bigfork Montana and Carefree Arizona.
Jaune Quick-To-See Smith (Born 1940) is active/lives in New Mexico, Montana. Jaune Smith is known for Modernist Indian figure-genre painting.
Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, of Salish, French-Cree and Shoshone ancestry, was born on the Flathead Indian Reservation in St. Ignatius, Montana in 1940. The daughter of an amateur painter, her pastels and paintings depict her memories of childhood landscapes, her horse, "Cheyenne," appearing in many of her works.
She studied at Framingham State College, Massachusetts, earning a B.A. degree in Art Education in 1976, and the University of New Mexico, M.F.A., Art, 1980. She now lives in Corrales, New Mexico.
Smith became an artist while in her 30s, and was earning a living as a painter before she completed her degree at the University of New Mexico. By the mid-1970s, Smith had also founded artists' groups, curated exhibitions, and organized grassroots protests to express her concern for the land and its people.
Smith creates work that addresses the myths of her ancestors in the context of current issues facing American Indians. She works with paint, collage, and appropriated imagery, using a combination of representational and abstract images.
Inspired by the formal innovations of such artists as Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as traditional American Indian art, Smith sees herself as "a harbinger, a mediator and a bridge builder. My art, my life experience, and my tribal ties are totally enmeshed. I go from one community with messages to the other, and I try to enlighten people."
The artist's awards include: Purchase Award, Academy of Arts and Letters, New York City, 1987; Distinguished Service Award, Salish Kootenai College, Montana 1991; SITE Santa Fe Award, 1995; Joan Mitchell Foundation Award, 1996; Lifetime Achievement Award, Women's Caucus for the Arts, 1997; Honorary Doctorates at Minneapolis College of Art and Design 1992; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia 1998; Eiteljorg Fellowship, 1999.
Her one-person show, "Subversion/Affirmation: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, A Survey," originated at the Jersey City Museum, concluding its national tour in 1998 at the Art Museum of Missoula, Montana. Other solo exhibitions include: The Neuberger Museum; Smith College; The Chrysler Museum, Lehigh University; New Mexico State University Museum.
