"INDIAN LONESOME"
Henri Peter's art is painted in brilliant colors.
Unconventional, intense emotionalism with feathers
He is a self-taught artist partially color-blind.
His unique way of painting pulls on our emotions of any kind!
His very bold colors act as an exclamation point!
His paintings are instantly recognizable from this viewpoint.
Rather than speak, some Indians remained silent.....
But painting their faces depicted what they were feeling.
observers knew in an instant!
This is Henri Peter, the Artist of these splendid pictures.
Before I can truly appreciate an Artist's canvas.
I need to know about the Artist or observing his paintings
seem aimless.
His paintings to me are dynamic, sensual, magical feelings.
What kind of man can mix all of this emotion in his paintings?
"BROKEN PROMISES!"
His quiet reflections of love to his shattering anger
of "Promises Broken!"
His art makes us think with living feelings and vibrant
intensity of action.
His marvelous imagination is woven into his every canvas!
He is 1/4 Pervian, so could not register with Bureau of Indian Affairs,
his goal was painted with bleakness!
"EVERLASTING LOVE"
Eventually, his beautiful art became a genuine phenomenon!
He was well accepted, his reputation began to broaden.
His Swiss father immigrated to Peru, instead of the United States.
There he married a woman of French-Inca heritage, Peter was born
in 1957, thus his hertiage relates.
"LEGENDS"
A restless and rebellious boy, he was sent to school in Switzerland to
learn to conform.
Never lukewarm, high spirited young man, hard to reform.....
During this time his energies channeled into art of great intensity!
Some of his early drawings depict his restless and distraught
breathless beauty!
"RAVEN"
He rarely touched a stencil pad or paint brush after moving to the States
in 1983.
Then miracleously Henri discovered the Native Americans and their art.
To him they were a strong, brave people, and like him....he painted them free!
It transformed his own life style, as he saw them as kindred spirits,
never to depart!
Observing Henri's art, you know he identifies with his subjects because
he paints them with his heart!
"THE LAST GOODBYE"
I've always chosen to hold dear the Natural Native Canvas' myself.
But, I find true, that the more I gaze at Henri's paintings, I feel drawn in
not left alone by oneself.
His favorite painting for me, has always been one of his greatest creations.
It's called "The Phoenix" the eyes are those of Henri's--rebellious, freedom beacons!

this is very topical for me. Today i went to an art exhibition of British artists since the 1950's.
I've never heard of Henri Peter, but the examples of work you have shown are the work of a very unique individual style and very impressive.
I love the way you tell stories in your poetry. |
