August marked the 50th anniversary of the passing of Jerome Tiger, one of Oklahoma’s most celebrated Native American artists. To honor this anniversary, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum has produced an exhibition of his selected works from its permanent collection, celebrating the life and legacy of this remarkable painter. A full-blood Muscogee Creek-Seminole, Tiger produced hundreds of paintings in just five years until his death in 1967 and built a legacy that would forever shape our state’s artistic landscape.

The exhibition is on display through May 13, 2018. To watch a video introducing Jerome Tiger and the pieces involved, click here.
