Hilaire Hiler “Pinto" 1933 Modernist Ink Drawing of Native American on Horseback
By Hilaire Hiler
Located in Denver, CO
This original 1933 black-and-white ink drawing, titled “Pinto,” is an exceptional example of Hilaire Hiler’s (1898–1966) distinctive modernist style. The artwork depicts a Native American rider wearing a feathered headdress, confidently mounted on horseback.
