| Original painting Indian Chief by ELIZABETH DAVEY LOCHRIE canvas sixe "22 x 28" LOCHRIE was born in Deer Lodge Montana, July 1, 1890; she was educated in Butte schools and received her art education at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1911. During 1924-1925 she painted eighteen children's murals for the Montana State Hospital. After 1932, Lochrie specialized in Native American portraits, particularly of Blackfeet tribal members, having produced more than a thousand watercolors, oils, murals and sculptures. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." “Yesterday I painted all day,” Elizabeth wrote in a 1932 letter to her family upon Glacier National Park stationary, “Gypsy and Bull Child posed two hours in the afternoon and we had a long visit beside. They wanted to take Son and I into the tribe and give us names. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." | ||
