Navajo artist Anthony Chee Emerson has developed a whimsical style that incorporates both traditional Navajo cultural values and a modernist approach. Emerson is a native of the Four Corners area where, as a self-taught artist, he paints Navajo settings and people. His colorful renditions of Navajo life reflect upon the important values of family and tradition.

In this painting, Chee has a Navajo man and woman cheerfully riding their horses among a stampede of horses.  They appear to be happy and carefree so it must not be a serious stampede.
