Delano biographer Richard Bowman wrote, “In the end, Delano, with his illustrator’s eye, can be seen as picking up the reins and occupying the saddle left empty by Remington and Russell (both literally and figuratively, since he was a seasoned ranch hand). But where Remington and Russell concentrated on the Plains Indians, Delano became ‘The Painter of the Navajo.’ At the same time, especially as he turned from illustration to ‘fine art,’ Delano often gave precedence to qualities of design, such as balance and harmony, which placed some works closer to the mood of composure and contemplation characteristic of Taos art, than to the action-packed works of Remington and Russell.”
