Best known for his sensitive depictions of Native Americans, Amédée Joullin studied at the San Francisco School of Design and in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1890, Joullin and his wife Lucile Wilcox Joullin lived with the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico painting the people and their customs. Pipe to Thunder, painted ten years later, harkens back to this period when Joullin was intimately immeshed in the life of the Pueblo Indians. The painting was exhibited at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition in 1915.
