This acrylic portrait of Two Moons was done by Texas portrait artist Juli Koroly

Two Moons

Two Moons, a Northern Cheyenne, was one of three models James Earle Fraser used when he sculpted the indian head nickel. Two Moons was a survivor of the Little Big Horn. I was fascinated by the strength of character in his face and the hint of humor. I wish I knew what was the source of the humor, was it directed at himself or at the man taking his picture.

Several years ago I obtained a collection on copies of Edward Curtis's photographs. Curtis was one of the first portrait photographers to specialize in native americans. He has had the ability to catch character.
