Dave McGary was all about detail in his scrupulously accurate bronzes of Native Americans. Bear’s Nest and American Horse, for example, were important Sioux warriors—American Horse was a chief—during the Western tempest that raged on either side of the Little Big Horn. McGary’s polychrome bronzes have the feel of beads, feathers, leather, and history.
