Rising 44 feet in the air, this Cor-Ten steel sculpture of a Native American chief is a popular site for Wichita visitors and residents alike. The proud figure stands tall with his back arched, offering something invisible to the sky with his upturned palms. The crisp lines of the stylized figure give it striking silhouette. But the large headdress and waving fringe gives the figure movement and life.</p> Wed, 16 May 2012 12:20:18 +0000 Lindsey Herkommer 5936 at http://kmuw.org Art Review: Keeper of the Plains
