It has been said that Woody Crumbo's art was not aimed at figurative realism but, with the animals, such as this horse and colt, he brought out what he saw as their spirit, often in vivid colors, however, colors were not used in his copper plate etchings.

Crumbo was born of a Potawatomi mother and orphaned at age 7.  He then lived with a Creek family, then a Kiowa family and, finally a Sioux family.  This exposed him to cultures of many tribes and that contributed to his art career and life.  With this experience, he found a way to honor, promote and preserve history of many tribes.
