This Pottery piece depicts the End of the Trail motif that stems from a sculpture by James Earle Fraser in 1894. It depicts a weary Native American man, hanging limp from his weary horse as the wind blows through the tall grass and their hair. Despite the images appeal as a popular American icon, Fraser intended the work as a pointed commentary on the damaging effects of Euro-American settlement. The sculpture continues to resonate with audiences in the twenty-first century, taking on new meanings and new forms in the digital age.
