Loren Pahsetopah (Osage) was from Pawhuska, Oklahoma. He began drawing and painting when he was seven years old and actively participating in the In-Lon-Schka. It is that experience and understanding of what it means to create your own dance clothes and to dance under the arbor that produces a level of authenticity and sense of feeling in a painting that Pahsetopah achieved. He and his brother, Paul Pahsetopah, were part of a generation of Osage painters who brought this knowledge of Osage culture to a larger world. In 1962, the Philbrook Museum of Art produced the exhibition Osage Indian Art which featured the paintings of Loren Pahsetopah, Paul Pahsetopah, and Jim Red Corn. This is one of the first, if not first, museum exhibitions on Osage painting. Then, in 1966 the U.S. Department of Commerce selected Pahsetopah and five other Native American artists for a cultural exchange in Paris, France.
