Kiowa artist and grandson of a Kiowa chief, Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Big Bow was born in Carnegie, Oklahoma, on January 29, 1914. As a teenager he attended classes at the University of Oklahoma at Norman, where, under the personal guidance of Oscar B. Jacobson, he took advantage of the opportunity to receive instruction in painting. He was one of several young Kiowa artists at the university whose work was featured in exhibitions in Europe and subsequently published in folio editions of American Indian art, the first of their kind ever issued.
