Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge

 think that Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge by John Taylor is more representational.
Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge by Howling Wolf is the more abstract painting.
In the form that they are different from each other is that in Howling Wolf's painting seems
like a child drew it because of the way the trees, Indians, tipis, and horse are drawn. One
looks more personal than the other. In John Taylor looks like if he was there as the singing is
going on. Yes he describes it by showing that people gather around and that they are in the
wood. No I do not think that there is a greater cultural difference between the two, they simply draw a different point of view. Yes is suggest that John Taylor was at a Treaty Singing
before. John Taylor draws each Indian as maybe their actual self, they each have their own
face. In my opinion John Taylor's painting is more superior in all the detail that is put into it.
In my opinion I think that the role of the woman in the two society are different in Howling
Wolf's picture woman are not as important as in John Taylor's picture. John Taylor draws  woman in his picture in you can distinguish between the woman and the men. Howling
Wolf's has all the woman facing away only draws their backs and some he draws with
umbrellas and pinkish colors.
