Blackfeet John L. “Cutapuis” Clarke and The Silent Call of Glacier National Park: America’s Wood Sculptor. Price is $69 plus $8 Media Mail shipping
Written by famed western artist biographer, Dr. Larry Len Peterson, this beautiful coffee table-style book explores the less-known aspects of John Clarke’s long life, while detailing Clarke’s vast impact on western art. The foreword is by author and art historian, Dr. Brian W. Dippie, with a section by Clarke’s granddaughter, Dana Turvey, titled “Reflections.”
From Dr. Peterson: “How could a Native American boy lacking the ability to hear or speak and raised at the edge of what would become Glacier National Park grow to become one of the most celebrated and collected woodcarvers in American history? It’s quite a story. The stunning 440 page biography Blackfeet John L. “Cutapuis” Clarke and the Silent Call of Glacier National Park: America’s Wood Sculptor makes use of 500 illustrations —photographs, printed material, and artwork (from Clarke and twenty-seven other artists)—to explore John L. Clarke’s (1881-1970) meteoric rise to national notoriety.”
