Medicine Man screenprint by Joe Geshick captures the mystical essence of indigenous folklore through a surrealist lens, featuring bold red, blue, and brown tones in a composition that interweaves human figures, natural elements like berries and fruit, and symbolic imagery including spears and animal forms. Created circa 1990 and signed and numbered in pencil as a special proof (SP), this 40 x 26 inch screenprint exemplifies the fusion of Folk Art and Surrealism in contemporary Native American printmaking, where traditional storytelling meets modern artistic expression. Geshick's powerful visual narrative explores themes of healing, spirituality, and the connection between humanity and nature through dreamlike compositions that honor indigenous cultural traditions while embracing surrealist techniques. This museum-quality work offers collectors a significant example of contemporary Native American art that bridges folk traditions with avant-garde artistic movements.
