Provenance: Altermann & Morris Galleries, Santa Fe, NM, 1996 Morris & Whiteside Auctions, Hilton Head Island, SC, 2002 Private collection, California Prior to his fine art career, Tom Lovell spent 39 years in the field of illustration, where he created images for Collier’s, McCall’s, National Geographic, Leatherneck for the U.S. Marine Corps and countless pulp magazines. This long build-up to his easel paintings allowed him to hone his craft, most notably his ability to tell concise and effective stories. Here, in 1976’s Even Trade, Lovell’s narrative is clear: a pioneer offers eagle feathers in a trade with a Native American from the plains. The pioneer’s simple gesture of pointed and parallel index fingers signifies his willingness to trade the feathers for the horse. Lovell created drama by allowing some mystery in the Native American’s body language, which suggests the trade may be unfavorable.
