Friberg's Western Prints
Winter at Valley Forge
This is a new release on canvas. A beautiful Giclee' printed directly onto a
fine grade canvas. Mounted on stretcher frame. The piece measures
18-1/" x 28" with only 1000 s/n prints. This is the first s/n
limited edition Arnold has done in two years. Issue price is $2,500.00 US
A GENTLEMEN'S FOURSOME
1994 Release. One of the most astonishing feats
of the saloon series is Friberg's lively depiction of interior light.
This requires quite different effects from those appearing in his
outdoor scenes. Of course, Friberg is highly renowned for his horse
depictions, indoors or out. This saloon scene is given added variety
with its splendid billiard table, the appaloosa and that fine Mexican
barb horse, with its rich charro saddle, bridle, and machete.
MIND IF I JOIN YOU GENTLEMEN?
1989 Release. The first issue in Mr.
Friberg's legendary saloon series. The artist relentlessly researched
the splendidly carved back-bars, antique oil lamp fixtures, unusual
walking canes, period clothing, wallpaper, bottles, and carved picture
frames to give these three paintings vigorous authenticity. You can
almost hear the macho sounds you would hear if you entered that
frontier saloon.
WINNERS AND LOSERS
1993 Release. Commissioned in 1977 by Steven A. Wynn, the owner of the
Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, this painting was created
to depict an old-time western saloon as it might have looked in
earlier days. Delighted with the work, Wynn displayed it at the casino
for some time, but then decided not to risk damage from the humidity,
variable temperatures, and swarms of admiring people in the casino,
and retired the painting to his own home.
HER HERO
1990 Release. From first-hand observations of Indian camp life,
Friberg here has recorded many rich authentic details of the teepees -
stakes, lacing, pins, medicine bundles, painted designs, and the
orderly interlocking of lodge poles over the smoke holes. Also
stretched hides and meat drying racks, all giving a complete picture
of a people at home with nature. The small girl in the teepee doorway
looks with admiration upon the macho brave on his strong horse.
PARLEY IN THE FOREST
1991 Release. This painting does not illustrate a particular event,
but rather a parley as it might have occurred countless times. It is a
meeting of foes in battle, but who respect each other as honorable
fighting men. Notable are the strong splendid horses.
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE
Originally painted in 1976 to honor our country's bi-centennial year,
"The Prayer at Valley Forge" in the last 20 years has become
increasingly cherished and recognized as a supreme 20th century
masterpiece of patriotic American art. In it we feel the cold, the
suffering, and the weight of the burden falling on the tall and lonely
man, driving him to his knees there in the bitter snows of Valley
Forge. Secondary market on original paper, now available as a canvasSpecial "Full
Size" Edition
$22,500.00 US
Prayer at Valley Forge will be made available
in the "original size" of 52-1/2" x 70-1/4" very soon.
There will only be 225 s/n pieces made, one of which has been presented to U.S.
President George Bush. The piece is produced as a Giclee' on canvas completely
framed to 52" x 82" and is only available to the first 225 collectors.
WHEN THE LAND WAS HIS
1986 Release. Arnold Friberg has always felt a deep respect for Native
American cultures both in the U.S. and in Canada. After all of his
work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canada feels like his
second home. It has been a great honor to him that Native Americans
visiting his studio have often commented that his paintings have
"strong medicine." He views When the Land Was His as a
companion to his equestrian portrait of Prince Charles, "Each
represents royalty in his own domain." Not an action picture,
this is a tribute to the beauty and ingenuity of Indian craftsmanship,
achieved with simple, available native materials.
TALES OF THE FORCE
1988 Release. This image introduced Arnold Friberg's art to Canadians. It quickly
became a sold out edition, and is now a highly sought after secondary
market print. Looking into the rugged face of the storyteller, you
feel the spirit that has made the RCMP famous throughout the world and
an inspiration to all boys. (A personal note: Many people don't know
that the young boy in the ski sweater is Arnold Friberg's son, Frank.)
THE MODEL BUILDER
1993 Release. Another instant favorite of collectors not only in
Canada, but everywhere, this painting takes us into an old
frontiersman's cabin, reminiscing with his good friend in scarlet
serge about past days of his adventures. We feel we're almost at the
North Pole, with Saint Nick just around the corner!
COMPANIONS OF THE TRAIL
1994 Release. In it's pristine setting the first winter mountie print featuring man's
best friend, his transportation, warmth and companionship important to his very
survival during the long northern winters. Companions of the Trail is a
vital study in contrasts: red serge, snow, magnificent dogs in their winter
coats and blue skies capturing the reality of life in this frontier winter
wonderland.
