Patrick DesJarlait was a true innovator in the field of modern American Indian Art and even more so for the state of Minnesota and the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe. Though his spirit has walked on DesJarlait’s work continues to be circulated throughout communities in the forms of shirts, posters and prints as well as many of his works are on display in several public places such as hotels and casinos. To me this artist’s work is profound and inspiring, his use of color, texture, design and movement are at a supreme level of mastery. This work is bold and forceful yet delicate and detailed and contains a clear and critical lasting value. I truly cherish DesJarlait’s work and only wish I could be so lucky as to hang a print of one of his many works upon my wall.
