In this clip a short documentary on Acee Blue Eagle on what would have been his 104th birthday!:

Acee Blue Eagle passed away in 1959. at the age of 51 years of age.

Price range information: Sorry none available. Blue Eagle worked with gouache and casein.

What I enjoy most about this artist is his use of line. R.C. Gorman’s work’s are similar to this artist, but for me Blue Eagle had superior drafting skills. What I enjoy is that he gives life to everything, especially the plants. Plants are made with wonderful repeating patters of circles and leaves that appear to be blowing in the wind.
