Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Theodore Baur American, 1835-1894 Chief Crazy Horse, 1885 Signed The Baur, dated New York 1885, inscribed copyright 1885/Theodore Baur/March 6, 1885 Bronze with brown patina Height 13 5/8 inches A respected sculptor in American art circles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Theodore Baur created many decorative pieces for public buildings along with modestly scaled bronzes for private collectors. His subjects included actors, musicians, and artists, as well as allegorical figures and children. He also rendered Old West and Native American subjects, including this bronze, an idealized image of Chief Crazy Horse (ca. 1840-1877), who was a famous member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Depicted in the prime of his life and wearing traditional braids and an eagle-feather headdress, the warrior is shown as a "noble savage" in keeping with the popular romantic view of the Indian in the era. First cast in 1885, this is a rare example of a sculptural image of a Native American subject in the period before the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.
