Native Americans populate the canvases painted by David Mann with images of daily life. These are people of the plains, the horse and tipi cultures of the nineteenth century. Since childhood, Mann has been inspired by illustrations in books and magazines. As a young missionary for the Mormon Church he gained perspective, living with Apache, Pima, Papago, Pueblo and Navajo people. He earned an art degree at Weber State University and worked as a librarian. Mann researches his subjects to create a sense of reality in dress and equipment. He endeavors to convey an “uplifting” sense of dignity.
Exhibitions: Autry National Center Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale; the Prix de West Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and; the Western Visions Miniature Show in Jackson, Wyoming.
