Daro Flood
Native American On Horseback Bronze Sculpture Daro Flood

1980's

About the Item

Native American on horseback. Signed and numbered 24/30, artists cypher. Daro Flood (1954 - 2017) was active/lived in Arizona. Daro Flood is known for Portrait bust Indian and cowboy sculpture. Daro Flood was a jeweler who made the decision to fully dedicate himself to realist sculpture. His studio is in Arizona, and he derives his subject matter from personal experiences depicting the people and places with which he has had contact. American Indians of the western United States are a favorite subject, and he has received commissions for public art. When Daro Flood passed away in 2017, he was immediately hailed by collectors, curators, and fellow artists as a “true Renaissance man,” as someone who, as one curator observed, “had the closest thing these days to a 19th century sensibility about nature and the natural world around him. He knew and understood things that few modern people do. He was one of the few people I have ever known that could be dropped into the middle of the wilderness and make do for himself just fine.” Daro Flood was born into a world of western art and indigenous artifacts. His father, Dick Flood, was an old-time trader who opened the first art gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. Born and educated in Scottsdale, Arizona, by the age of 18—just out of high school—Daro Flood had mastered so many Native American skills that he was appointed conservator of the museum collections of the Alaska State Museum in Juneau, Alaska where he “literally ‘saved for posterity’ some of Alaska’s most priceless and irreplaceable cultural objects.” Flood then went on to study sculpture and to create exceptional bronzes of Plains and Northwest Coast Indians, wrapping his impeccable research and knowledge of beadwork, wood and ivory carving, and quill and birchbark around exquisitely rendered physical forms and faces. Flood’s body of work ranks with the finest in the history of American Western bronze.

Maud Gatewood's artwork is familiar to museum-goers throughout the South. She has been a prominent figure throughout the southeastern United States during her 55-year career.

One year later, she received her M.A. in painting from Ohio State University. She continued her education as an instructor beginning in 1956 at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL, and then at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. She then received a Fullbright Grant to study art history and painting at the Akademie Fur Angewandte Kunst and an extended Fullbright to study with Oskar Kokoschka in Salzburg, Austria. Her educational years were interspersed with traveling the world, that was the beginning of a life-long penchant, even at her death she was planning her next trip. In 1964, she returned to the U.S. where she joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and served as founding head of the university art department. She then went on to teach at Central Piedmont Community College before returning to her home, Caswell County, where she was a professor for many years at Averett University. During her academic career, she also served as a visiting professor and artist at the University of Cincinnati, Davidson College, and the State University of New York, Oswego. Ms. Gatewood was honored by her alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts in 1999. On her life's path of discovery in painting, Ms. Gatewood was awarded the North Carolina Federation of Women's Club Scholarship in 1953; a painting award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1972; the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship in 1980; the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art NEAA Grant 1981; the prestigious North Carolina Award in Fine Arts (Governor's Award) in 1984; the North Carolina Poster Award Commission for the U.S. Olympic Festival in 1987 and in 1993 she represented North Carolina in the Absolute statehood campaign featured in USA Today and Newsweek. She exhibited widely in the Southeastern United States and was honored with a retrospective exhibition covering 40 years of painting, organized by the Weatherspoon Gallery of Art at UNC-G in Greensboro, NC. The exhibition toured from 1994-95 in what is now the Cameron Museum of Art in Wilmington, NC as well as the Asheville Art Museum in Asheville, NC; Albany Museum of Art in Albany, GA and the Gallery of Art and Design at NC State University in Raleigh, NC.
