American Texas Artist Kelly Pruitt Oil On Canvas Painting
Est: $400 - $600
Very fine vintage American/Texas listed artist Kelly Pruitt ( 1924-2009) oil on canvas painting. Framed. Signed and dated 1965 lower right. Size: Framed: 16 3/8" x 19 3/8"; Unframed: 10 1/4" x 13 3/8".~ . To be a cowboy was A. Kelly Pruitt's childhood dream; a dream that he realized early in his life. He started breaking horses when he was twelve and helped bring many a trailherd from Mexico across the Rio Grand at Presidio, Texas where he and his family lived during his early years. His first paintings were done on scraps of rainbow sandstone found on the Boquillas Ranch where he worked in Arizona near the Grand Canyon. It was there that his work was discovered by a man who ran the El Tovar Hotel and Kelly's painting career was launched. Unhampered by formal art training and the opinions of professors, he paints what he knows and loves.In the fifty years he has been painting and sculpting. His personality and popularity have taken him to countries where most cowboys would have felt out of place. He has had one man shows around the world including England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and most of the major cities of the USA. Kelly's life, like his work, is loose and untrammeled by conformity. For most of it he has preferred to live under the stars, in the endless expanse of nature sheltered only by a teepee or gypsy wagon. His daily life is guided by the promptings of the Great Spirit, provided for and protected by the same source. Mr. Pruitt passed on in February of 2009.

A. Kelly Pruitt Painting, Native American Settlement
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
**First Time At Auction** A. Kelly Pruitt (American, 1924-2009). Native American Settlement, oil on canvas, n.d. Signed on lower right. A dynamic painting by American painter, sculptor, illustrator, and author A. Kelly Pruitt depicting a Native American encampment or settlement comprised of rows of tipis scattered with figures on foot and on horseback. Thick layers of impasto emphasize the piles of snow that cover the ground, as several cloaked figures dance around a campfire and others sit in conversation and observe. The light blue of the sky contrast the natural brown and gray tones of the figures, conveying the frigid feeling of the cold winter air against the warmly wrapped Native Americans. Pruitt's bold strokes and minimal detail portray the Western landscape with all the intensity and immediacy for which his work is well-known. Size of painting: 29.5" W x 19.5" H (74.9 cm x 49.5 cm); of frame: 35.25" W x 25.25" H (89.5 cm x 64.1 cm) "To be a cowboy was A. Kelly Pruitt's childhood dream; a dream that he realized early in his life. He started breaking horses when he was twelve and helped bring many a trail herd from Mexico across the Rio Grande at Presidio, TX where he and his family lived during his early years. His first paintings were done on scraps of rainbow sandstone found on the Boquillas Ranch, where he worked, in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. It was there that he was discovered by a man who ran the El Travarre Hotel and Kelly's painting career was launched. That was the humble beginning of his success and renown as one of the premier Western painters of our time. Kelly's work is graced by a natural talent and draws from the creative river of the Great Spirit, unhampered by formal art training and the opinions of professors. He painted what he knew and loved and it shows in his work; it is fresh, immediate, and, like Kelly, full of the intensity and spirit from which it derives. Kelly, like his work, was untrammeled by conformity. For most of his life he preferred to live under the stars, in the endless expanse of nature sheltered only by a tipi or a gypsy wagon." - Pawnee Jewell Provenance: private Cripple Creek, Colorado, USA collection All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
