What seems to me most admirable in this exhibition dedicated to the paintings of Ray Swanson, is its ability to penetrate into the spirit of Native Americans, to understand the attachment to their culture and their traditions, their roots in a very remote past , and whose life force has succeeded to remain intact until today. The set of all these paintings, that portray different characters and realistic scenes of native life, it comes out almost a unique and beautiful picture, which emerged in the dignity and pride of a people who went through very dramatic historical events. And, in my opinion, it is not surprising when the natives, even today, proudly maintain to be the real Americans, manifesting a certain distrust of other Americans of European origin. I think Swanson was one of the few artists who are not natives, to have explored deeply, and with success, the spirit of Native Americans.
