The Warbonnett c. 1923

"The Warbonnet" is a 1923 woodcut by Carl Oscar Borg, a Swedish-American artist known for his depictions of Native American life. This print portrays a Native American man in profile, his face stoic and his gaze directed towards the horizon, adorned with a large warbonnet made of feathers. The stark black and white imagery, characteristic of woodcut prints, creates a sense of drama and emphasizes the proud and powerful figure of the Native American warrior. The background, with its stylized, almost abstract representation of clouds and landscape, adds a sense of depth and reinforces the overall theme of strength and resilience.
