The Captives...by David Wright

This painting captures a compelling, if horrific, scene where young people have been kidnapped by Native Americans and are being transported to a fateful location. "This is a painting," said Wright, "that is very meaningful to me. It describes a scene that unfortunately often beset settlers during the westward expansion of our country. The conclusion is left to the viewer, but it is ominous. The painting is also one of my personal favorites. As history, the story I tried to depict is dramatic and arresting, as symbolism, it presents a range of involving elements, and as technique, it fulfilled my rigorous objectives. I've tried to draw the viewer into the subject matter in a compelling and lasting way."

In this painting, David Wright has illustrated an Eastern Woodland Indian quietly fishing from his canoe.

The first post of the 8 different tribes of Indians is worth a study...

the subtle and sometimes obvious differences in the war paint and garb is interesting.
