Running Doe and Buck c. 20th century

"Running Doe and Buck" is a gouache painting on paper by the Ojibwe artist Merina -Blue Flower (1908–). It depicts two green deer, one male and one female, running in a landscape of stylized blue, pink, and white foliage. The painting's vibrant colors and stylized forms are characteristic of Blue Flower's artistic style, which is rooted in Ojibwe traditions and aesthetics. The work is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
