About the Art: As the American frontier pushed ever westward, trade was one of the most important aspects of the relationship between Indians and the Whites. Robert Griffing's painting "The Delicate Balance of Honesty" depicts a scene that no dought was repeated many times during the fur trade. For the most part, fur trade transactions were conducted honestly, but both were known to upset the delicate balance.
About the Artist: Robert Griffing grew up in Linesville, Pennsylvania, where he roamed the fields and beaches around Pymatuning Lake collecting stone artifacts, the key factor for his love of history and native cultures. After graduating form the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and a thirty year advertising career, he returned to the subject of his early fascination, the Eastern Woodland Indian of the 18th century. Griffing decided to devote his time and energy to his passion after receiving an enthusiastic response to his early paintings and prints.
He describes himself as a painter of 18th century scenes that involve or feature the Eastern Woodland Indian. His Paintings focus on a time that marked the beginning years of chaos and uncertainty for the Woodland tribes as they struggled to survive the encroachment of Europeans.
In addition to his extensive library of books, historical papers and journals, he is grateful to his historian and re-enactor friends who provide information and act as models for some of the characters in the paintings.
Griffing hopes that his paintings shed some light on this time period that has been neglected through society's romance with the American West.
