– 188 – 238 C. Michael Dudash (b. 1952) Traveling an Ancient Land (2021) oil on canvas laid on board 42 × 28 inches signed lower right: CMDudash CA VERSO Signed, titled, and dated The artist writes, “Whenever I have traveled the vast Southwest Territory of the United States, I am always overwhelmed by the sense of times past and endless distance. My mind quickly goes to a place where I can see and imagine the cultures of old, which include the various Apache tribes of which I ammost familiar. How they skillfully survived, and indeed flourished in this difficult environment is to this day still a marvel to me. My hope is that Traveling an Ancient Land gives the viewer a similar feeling of timeless space and admiration for these wandering travelers.” $20,000–30,000
