About this work

This painting shows a big group of people in bright colors. Some are dancing with masks and feathers. Others sit around, eating and talking. The background has tall, colorful poles with shapes on top. The colors are bold—greens, reds, yellows—and the scene looks lively. One person holds a gourd while others share food. The masks look like animal faces with big eyes. The artist used smooth watercolor strokes to blend colors. Check out Fred Kabotie to see more of his work.
