Indian Artist Begins
Work on muraIs
For Plains Museum
Drama Of Early Day EuffaIo
Hunt Will Be Theme of
Victor Pepion; OIof S.
hordmark Supervising

Work on series of four large
mural paintings in the lobby of
the Plains Indian Museum was
begun last Friday Dy Victor Pep
ion. Blackfeet Indian artist.
Telling the story of the
Plains Indian buffalo hunt, they
will rank among the outstanding
wall paintings of the Northwest.
The work is being done under
der the supervision of Olof S.
Nordmark, noted Swedishp ainter.
who arrived in Browning last
week.
The artist will be at work dur.
ing visiting hours at the museum,
which are from 9 a. m. to 6 o. m.
daily, that visitors may have an
opportunity to see how mural
work is done.
In executing the murals the
ancient "Secco' method is being
ased. Paint is applied to dry out
ulaster surface made up of lime
and sand. with limeproof powder
colors mixed in water and painted
over a previously applied lime
wash. Colors mixed and painted
over a lime-washed surface in
this manner will set and carbon
ize like the underlying plaster
surface. Together with the lime
wash they form a hard film of
carbonized lime which insures
their permanency.
The "Secco" technique is the
traditional North European mur-
al painting technique. The fin
est evidence of such paintings is
still to be found in the old SweG-
ish and Finnish churches and
castles, some of which date back
to the early part of the 18th CEN
tury. In Northern Europe this
tradition of 'Secco' painting con-
tlnues unbroken to the present
time.
This old painting tradition was
introduced into the United States
by Mr.. Nordmark, a native of
Sweden.
During the last three years
under MIR. Nordmark's instruc-
ton and supervision, Pepion was
engaged to decorate the museum
walls, was trained in "Secco"
and tempora painting at the Pine
Ridge Indian School. Under his
supervision Pepion executed sew
eral murals in both media.
Many outstanding American
artists have benefited from Mr..
Nordmark's instruction in mural
painting. Under his direct sup
ervlslon mural paintings were
made for the Department of JUS
tlce by George Biddle and Henry
Narnum Poor and the Franklin
Station post Office in Washington.
D. Z. by Reginald Marsh. The
ceiling secco in the Custom House
IN New York City, by Ward Lock
wood, is among other important
painting commissions supervised
by MIR, Nordmark.
