March 1971 - four color - buff Arches.
“The subject was conceived in a horizontal format, lending balance to the suite. Working with printer John Butke, Scholder sought to use the ‘rainbow roll’ to convey a sense of the radiant atmosphere that follows a southwestern thunderstorm. The row of mounted Indians, the umbrellas held high against the tusche wash sky, and the texture of the grassy foreground combine to assert the artist’s now certain command of the lithographic medium.” - Fritz Scholder Lithographs by Clinton Adams
