Description:
|
|
An American artist who specialized in Western scenes. In 1906, Leigh traveled to the American West while maintaining a studio in New York City. The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred on December 29, 1890 on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The American public's reaction to the massacre at the time was generally favorable; it was referred to as the Battle of Wounded Knee. This has now been reversed. Leigh's 1917 painting is sympathetic to the Sioux (Lakota). (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
