Buckeye
Blake grew up on the rodeo circuit. His father
was a rodeo rider. Now Blake is one of the
best-known artists in and of the West. During
the fall of 1993, at the Buffalo Bill Historical
Center in Cody, Wyoming, his work was the
subject of the first one-man show given by
a living artist since 1986. Exhibition curator
Sarah Boehme says Blake "conveys a sense
of timelessness to show that the Old West
was never completely left behind."
Fans of Blake's work include writer Thomas
McGuane and businessmen-ranchers Dan Lufkin,
James Taggart and Herbert Allen. Limited edition
prints and posters by Buckeye Blake are also
available.
