Original Oil Painting of Summer Bird by Will Shuster - 25320

By-o-toi-ti was a young lad from San Ildefonso Pueblo that Will Shuster chose as a subject for this painting in 1928. It is an extraordinary portrait of the young boy. I think the boy was less than enthusiastic about dressing up and posing for the painting. His almost pouting expression is part of the charm.
A realist and early modernist painter, graphic artist, illustrator, and sculptor, Will Shuster became known primarily for his work in New Mexico where, in 1920, he settled in Santa Fe, having been encouraged to come there by John Sloan. He had studied electrical engineering at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia and later was a student of Sloan\'s in Santa Fe in both etching and painting.
