Article abstract: Ernest Spybuck was one of the first Native American artists of the twentieth century to create a narrative style of painting depicting tribal culture.
Spybuck began drawing and painting as a small child; he never received formal art training. His most frequent subjects were horses, cowboys, ranch scenes, roundups, Native American ceremonies, traditional dancers, and peyote scenes. His experience was limited to his hometown, and he was more than fifty years old before he traveled outside Pottawatomie County, where he was born.
