Provenance: Private collection, Colorado Dave McGary grew up on a ranch in Cody, Wyoming. As a teenager, he met Harry Jackson and earned a grant to study with the famous sculptor in Italy. Later, after extensive experience in bronze foundries, McGary became interested in Native Americans. It’s this work, much of it completed as polychrome bronzes, that cemented McGary’s place in Western art. “An artist looks into his soul and presents…visions to the world. When McGary looks into his soul, he sees a picture of himself and his world and how that world has been profoundly affected by and connected to Native American culture,” writes Michael Duty in Dave McGary: American Realism in Bronze. “The result is a series of dramatic, deeply felt portraits of Indian leaders, warriors and ordinary people as well—all made extraordinary because they represent entire cultures and not simply individuals.”
