Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Kenneth Pauling Riley (American, 1919-2015) Absaroka Warrior oil on board signed Kenneth Riley (lower left) 13 x 12 inches Property from the Estate of Harry M. Cornell, Jr. Ken Riley was a good enough drummer that music nearly topped painting as his life's work. Riley eventually studied with Thomas Hart Benton in Kansas City and Harvey Dunn in New York. After a tour as a combat artist during World War II, he went on to illustrate paperbacks and periodicals, but it was a National Park Service commission and a teaching post at Brigham Young that led him to paint the storied places of the American West. Riley was inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America in 1982, received gold medals four times, and won the Prix de West in 1995. His paintings can be found in the White House, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Booth Western Art Museum. The line connecting the early masters of the West, the Golden Age of American Illustration, and contemporary Western modernism runs straight through Riley's easel. Absaroka Warrior has all the elements you'd ask of a Riley portrait: the chiseled modeling of the face, the attention to the adornments-the beading and hair wraps-and an abstract background in colors that enhance the figure work. -James D. Balestrieri

Kenneth Riley (1919-2015), Victorio
Est: $75,000 - $125,000
signed lower right: Kenneth Riley 86 CA © Victorio (Bidu-ya, Beduiat; ca. 1825–October 14, 1880) The warrior Victorio, one of the greatest Apache military strategists of all time. Born in New Mexico around 1809, Victorio grew up during a period of intense hostility between the native Apache Native Americans of the southwest and encroaching Mexican and American settlers. Determined to resist the loss of his homeland, Victorio began leading his small band of warriors on a long series of devastating raids against Mexican and American settlers and their communities in the 1850s. After more than a decade of evading the best efforts of the Mexican and American armies to capture him, the U.S. Army managed to convince Victorio to accept resettlement of his people on an inhospitable patch of sunburnt land near San Carlos, Arizona, in 1869. But with summer temperatures reaching 110 degrees on the San Carlos reservation (an area also known as Hell’s Forty Acres) and farming nearly impossible, Victorio decided the new reservation was unacceptable and moved his followers to more pleasant grounds at Ojo Caliente (Warm Springs), thus again becoming an outlaw in the eyes of the United States. In 1878, the U.S. Army attempted to force the Apaches back to the San Carlos reservation, but Victorio eluded capture, disappearing into the desert with 150 braves. Surviving by raiding the towns and farms of Chihuahua, Mexico, Victorio and his men began to ambush U.S. troops as well as Mexican or American sheepherders. In 1880, a combined force of U.S. and Mexican troops finally succeeded in tracking down Apache and his warriors, surrounding them in the Tres Castillos Mountains of Mexico, just south of El Paso, Texas. Having sent the American troops away, the Mexican soldiers proceeded to kill all but 17 of the trapped Apaches, though the exact manner of Victorio’s death remains unclear. Some claimed a Native American scout employed by the Mexican army killed the famous warrior. But according to the Apache, Victorio took his own life rather than surrender to the Mexicans. Regardless of how it happened, Victorio’s death made him a martyr to the Apache people and strengthened the resolve of other warriors to continue the fight. The last of the great Apache warriors, Geronimo, would not surrender until 1886.

KENNETH RILEY "THE DOWRY" LTD. ED. SIGNED PRINT
Est: -
Kenneth Riley "The Dowry" Limited Edition Signed Print. Kenneth Riley (b1919-d.2015). He was raised in Kansas and received his art education at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he was a student of Thomas Hart Benton. Aware of Riley's unusual talent, a high school art teacher had paid for his first semester of tuition at the Institute. In 1941, Riley went to New York to study with Frank DuMond at the Art Students League*, and he also took evening classes at the Grand Central School of Art* and with illustrator Harvey Dunn. Riley began his illustration career by selling work to the pulp magazines* for fifteen dollars each, but enlistment in World War II as a combat artist* for the Coast Guard redirected his work. During the war, he was on site at the invasions of the Gilbert, Marshall and Marianas Islands in the South Pacific. One of his paintings of this period, The Last Supper, done in the motif of Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper, depicts eleven service men seated at and standing by a long table in a temporary structure with pole supports. A description on the back of a photo of the painting reads: "A new invasion of Jap-held Pacific Territory is only a few short hours away as Coast Guardsmen, Marines and Soldiers partake of their 'Last Supper' before battle aboard a Coast-Guard-manned invasion transport. The Galley is filled with a tense excitement as the men tarry through the hot meal and then hurry to their quarters in this oil pointing by Coast Guard combat artist Ken Riley."
