Yieeahh: Oil Painting

Contributed by John White

The second work is not the typical smoothly realistic, cool, detached, overly romanticized Currier and Ives print version so often seen in museums, galleries, and publications. It is rather a “hell-for-leather” Expressionist (meaning gut feelings have prominence) rendering of a Confederate cavalry charge, appropriately titled, “Yieeahh!” This pen and ink was done some time ago, yet still packs a wallop.
