1959 “Who's Boss?” Cowboy and Bear Decide by Art Brown

Who’s Boss? captures a tense and rugged moment in the high country. A cowboy on horseback leads a string of heavily loaded pack mules up a steep, uneven hill. The rocky terrain is dotted with sparse trees and brush, with a mountainous wilderness stretching into the background. As the group struggles upward, a massive bear waits at the plateau’s edge, while two more bears watch from the side—an unexpected and potentially dangerous encounter in this remote setting.

This is a 1959 reproduction of an original etching by Montana cowboy artist Art Brown. Born in 1911 and raised near Great Falls, Brown grew up on a working cattle ranch and developed his drawing style through constant practice. His art—often humorous, sometimes gritty—reflected the real-life experiences of cowboys and frontiersmen. Though he lived a modest life and often bartered his work, Brown’s sketches have been compared to those of Charles Russell for their authenticity and insight into Western life.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
