Provenance: Altermann Galleries & Auctioneers, Santa Fe, NM, 2015 Private collection, Wisconsin Ray Swanson described his early interactions with Native Americans as cautious and careful due to his reticence to make them uncomfortable or uneasy as an outsider prodded them with questions. But that caution and care helped establish Swanson’s entire body of work in the Southwest, all of it involving thoughtful and sensitive depictions of Native Americans. That attentiveness to customs and cultures can be seen here in Preparing for the Dance.
