Indian Hunter and His Dog

Paul Manship American
1926
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 765
Manship’s linear, streamlined group represents the merging of an American Western subject with a modernist Machine Age aesthetic. The swift and carefree hunter accompanied by his nearly airborne dog harkens back to an imaginary American Arcadia, made real by Manship decades after his subject most likely would have been relocated to reservation land.
