Soloman McCombs (Creek)
Traditional painter.
  
 

Soloman McCombs (b. 1913, d. 1980) was one of the most important Oklahoma Indian artists, and instrumental in helping define the traditional flat style of Indian painting in Oklahoma.  He studied under Acee Blue Eagle in the initial class at the Bacone College Indian art program in the 1930s.  Along with classmates, Dick West and Chief Terry Saul, this group set early stylistic standards of the art of the five civilized tribes.  Soloman McCombs would go on to become one of the initial "master artists" of the Five Civilized Tribes Museum.  His works are included in many important institutional collections, including the Five Civilized Tribes Museum (Muskogee, OK), and the Philbrook Museum (Tulsa, OK).

The Gallery has a limited number of original paintings by Soloman McCombs.
