Paladine Roye 16 x 20 Historical Photographic Reproduction Of Jailhouse Art 1976

The seven one-of-a-kind works by Burgess (born Oct 30, 1944, in White Eagle, Oklahoma) and Paladine Roye (born Dec 8, 1946, also in White Eagle), painted directly on the walls of the old jail and courthouse in Enid, Oklahoma, are gems from two Native American artists for the Jail, the city of Enid, and the State of Oklahoma and truly national treasures deserving to be curated and preserved for future generations.

Paladine’s work depicts a buffalo and bear in conflict and represents the only known painting where he included both a buffalo and bear, let alone in conflict. He painted this piece outside of the entrance to the jail on the fourth floor, on the wall where booking photos were taken, directly across from the dispatch office. The old height markings can still be seen next to the painting. Three years after this, he began his professional art career.
