Lot description

James Ayers (Born 1969) "Face of Courage" (Cheyenne) Oil on Canvas. James Ayers of Flagstaff, Arizona paints Native American figures and portraits to recapture lost cultures. The artist combines historical research, live models and his own personal experiences of traveling and living with indigenous people in North America and Africa in his paintings. James has sought first-hand experiences with dozens of tribal cultures, and with each relationship, he has gleaned insights that help him understand the historical material he incorporates into his art. Authentic Details Although the subjects in his works are fictionalized accounts rather than literal representations of specific events, every facet of James' paintings is historically correct — from the style of a man's plaited hair to the weapons used and even the motifs which decorate tipis, clothing, and shields.
