Geronimo 1984 Release. This tribute to the great Apache chief is one of Friberg's most sought-after secondary-market prints. It is also an example of exactly what makes Friberg's horses considered some of the greatest in art. "I want to show the bones, the tendons, the muscles, and the blood vessels." This diligent attention results in such stunning representations as Geronimo's mount. The great saguaro cactus emerges from memories of Friberg's boyhood in the Arizona desert.
Into New Country This breathtaking reproduction of the original oil on canvas was painted in 2006 when Mr. Friberg was 92 years old. Quoting from Mr Friberg, ?More and more as the years roll away, I want to leave to the world only such beauty as God will enable me to express. I want to paint the most noble people, animals, mountain streams, trees and rocks, all evidence of the Creator?s handiwork; and even the works of man. I love the West and its history.? The detail, emotion and the drama of this print are exquisite. Arnold captures the realism and brings to life those historic days of the Western Native American Indians. This is truly a flawless masterpiece which only Arnold Friberg could create.
Into New Country shows a Native American people seeking new beginnings, heading into undiscovered territory, seeking a new country free to live their way of life without regrets of the past.
When the Land was His 1986 Release.Arnold Friberg has always felt a deep respect for Native American cultures both in the U.S. and in Canada. After all of his work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canada feels like his second home. It has been a great honor to him that Native Americans visiting his studio have often commented that his paintings have "strong medicine." He views When the Land Was His as a companion to his equestrian portrait of Prince Charles, "Each represents royalty in his own domain." Not an action picture, this is a tribute to the beauty and ingenuity of Indian craftsmanship, achieved with simple, available native materials.
Her Hero 1990 Release. From first-hand observations of Indian camp life, Friberg here has recorded many rich authentic details of the teepees - stakes, lacing, pins, medicine bundles, painted designs, and the orderly interlocking of lodge poles over the smoke holes. Also stretched hides and meat drying racks, all giving a complete picture of a people at home with nature. The small girl in the teepee doorway looks with admiration upon the macho brave on his strong horse.
