4340 x 3204 pix
In Breaking Up the Herd, Frank McCarthy showcases his knowledge of Plains Indian history, and his ability to capture intense action, movement and drama. A lone Plains Indian brave on horseback rides among a herd of galloping bison in this dramatic scene. Captured "at full throttle in a swirling cloud of dust, the bison plunge across the golden prairie covered with sage, grass, and rocks as the Indian brave waves a hide to cut three charging bison out of the larger herd."1 McCarthy creates a heightened sense of movement, danger and unpredictability by focusing on the composition's center action, while keeping the landscape largely indistinct, in a uniformly golden hue, obscured by dust.

According to the artist, 'There were times when the wandering buffalo herds could be found on the Southern plains. The Comanche Indians believed that if they asked the horned lizard to find the buffalo, he would always run in the direction of the buffalo. In this painting, two Comanche Scouts are intently watching a horned lizard to see which direction it will go, thus pointing the way towards the distant buffalo.'

Of the present work, Lovell wrote, 'It is early morning at a Nez Perce camp, with a dust of snow on the ground. A wisp of smoke tells that one family is awake and a lonesome sorrel pony pulled his picket pin and walked over to push at the door flap for attention. A young mother and small boy appear and petting begins a happy day, not the first time nor the last.'
