Wolf Ear

Known for his portrayal of Native American life and landscapes of the American Southwest, American painter and historian Joseph Henry Sharp was a leading figure of the Taos Society of Artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During his long, prolific career, he rose to prominence as a well-respected artist and obtained significant commissions. He was committed to documenting the way of life of Native American tribes that he lamented was dying; his particular Realist style lent itself to an ethnographic study of his work in addition to its art historical influence.
