Alfredo Rodriguez, ‘Wind beneath their wings’, 2001, oil on canvas, at Booth Western Art Museum, Cartersville, GA. Photo credit Kelise Franclemont. The card reads: ‘…Rodriguez pays tribute to Native American women in this romanticised work. Such idealistic portrayals, however, are at odds with the hardship that often characterised the lives of the Plains Indians. Rodriguez, one of nine children, was born in Mexico near a Huichot Indian community.'
