Original Watercolor on Paper
by H. Wackermann depicting an Indian on a buffalo hunt. Signed and dated lower left 1986. Measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" with mat and wood frame. Though born and educated in West Germany, Hubert Wackermann depicts his favorite subject matter: the North American Indian, his natural surroundings, and relevant wild life. Mr. Wackermann's depiction of the Native Americans is the result of an intimate knowledge of his subject matter through travel, study and living with different tribes through the years. Thus, the prime characteristic of his work is authenticity enhanced by detail and the constantly changing hues of nature's colors. In 1976, Wackermann lived for a year on the Six Nations Iroquois Reservation in Southern Ontario. During this time, he taught art classes to Native American children, and had the opportunity for more in-depth studies. Mr. Wackermann has had shows in West Germany, France, Egypt, and Canada as well as Denver, Colorado, San Diego, California, Albuquerque, New Mexico and most recently at the Booth Museum of Western Art in Cartersville, Georgia to which museum he has recently donated one of his original paintings that hangs as part of the museum's permanent exhibit.
