Ingerle was the "artist" who painted "The Glory That Was Ancient Greece," which I had the misfortune to find as the first painting in a Google search with keyword "the glory that was." Look at this dreck:
This one is "Minnehaha." Ha-ha maybe but that's no Indian. Ingerle took some studio model and put a feather in her hair. Look at the modeling of her right foot: that's about as realistic as plastic. What is that in the background, the purple mountains majesty?
"Redbird" here is a brunette studio model in a tube dress. Minnehaha's in a tube dress too! Very authentic Native-American costume.
Redbird is back in "Land of Enchantment." Oh my God, these are hideous.
"The Last Rays." Where? Where are there sun rays in this masterpiece? And what is that maroon blob at left? Nice definition. Is that supposed to be a tree, the world's biggest bush, or did Rudolph F. Ingerle just have some left-over paint he had nothing better to do with?
Awful. The man could not paint.
