In my opinion, John Taylor’ picture is more representational while Howling Wolf’s is more abstract. Both these pictures differ in a few different ways. First, Taylor’s picture seems to be done by a pencil or some black writing utensil. On the other hand Wolf’s picture is done by pencil, crayon, and ink on paper. Both the pictures depict the landscape but in Taylor’s picture the landscape is full of trees as being in a forest with both beautiful tall trees as well as short ones. In Wolf’s picture the landscape isn’t as detailed as Taylor’s. There are only a few trees next to each tipi and a river running through. In my opinion, the spaces in each picture don’t suggest any greater culture differences. In both pictures the Native culture seems caring to one another as well as being really close to each other. Because Taylor’s work means the audience focus goes directly to the center, which makes me believe that with wolf’s work makes the audience look all over the picture and makes you view and think about the different things that are being seen. The Native Americans are portrayed like people with bows, arrows, and feathers in their hair in Taylor’s work. They are view how everyone pictures Native Americans and how they are always in groups protecting one another. The role of women is huge between these two pictures. In Wolf’s picture all you really see is women portrayed beautifully, while in Taylor’s picture there are no women presented at all. This suggests that the role in women in Wolf’s picture is very strong and powerful. But in Taylor’s picture the role of women is not even present at all. As if women weren’t important at all. Overall both these great art works are very well done and can make the view become speechless.
