"They Rode in Slowly from Red Lodge" oil on canvas
Earl Biss (1947 – 1998) was contributor to the rise of contemporary Indian art. An enrolled member of the Crow Nation - the Apsáalooke Earl Biss was raised by his grandmother on the Crow Reservation in southern Montana in the early years of his life. He was given the Crow Indian name Spotted Horse. Later in life he earned the name The Spirit Who Walks Among His People. This was due to his presence being felt among his Crow family and friends even when he was gone. He found inspiration for his works in tribal legends and histories learned from the elders, and in the sweeping landscapes of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains.
