During the many years that the artist painted on the Navajo Reservation, he saw many changes in their lifestyle.  The white man's civilization is opposite to their simple undisturbed way of life. In later years, the artist rarely saw a Navajo man attired in a traditional velvet shirt, headband, silver concho belt, and strings of coral and turquoise. This portrait is the epitome of Navajo because he expresses the quiet dignity, tenaciousness and faith in himself and his land.

Giclee reproduction on canvas is as visually rewarding as it is technically amazing. These brilliant sharp giclee reproductions are simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is possible. The word giclee is French and means "spray of ink." Once printed on canvas, the image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of richly saturated ink. The ink has a 75 year light fastness and does not need to be glassed.

These beautiful glicees of Ray Swanson paintings look very close to an original when hung on your wall. Each piece is mounted on canvas with 1" deep stretcher bars, gallery wrapped, stretched, wired, and ready to hang.

The artwork in the 600 Series includes prints of original artwork that sold for $10,000 to $12,000.

This giclee is 22" high by 17.5" wide.
