David Mann (American, b. 1948) The Horse Made Him Master Oil on canvas 36 x 48 inches (91.4 x 121.9 cm) Signed lower right: Daivd / Mann PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT TEXAS COLLECTION PROVENANCE: Altermann Galleries & Auctioneers, Santa Fe, New Mexico, November 17, 2013, lot 255; Private collection, Texas, acquired from the above. "I liked the idea that this is business for these warriors, but they're still human, with personalities, and they laugh and joke and move on...It's not about fighting, not about survival. It's the good part of life and freedom in a beautiful environment. It's a slice of that life that brings satisfaction and peace...Then you get the sun gleaming off the feathers and shadows carving out [their] features... That's really when the magic starts to happen." -David Mann HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved See More
