Summary Of Indian Hunters Return By Charlie Russell

460 Words2 Pages

I believe that Charlie Russell depicted American Indian culture both negatively and positively throughout his paintings. Charlie Russell is positive towards american indians because he shows their way of life and many beliefs with everyone through his many paintings.. Now, I also believe that he had some negative paintings that might make people believe that they are barbaric and dangerous. Charlie Russell is positive towards indians because he showed their ways of life thought beautiful paintings. One positive painting is called Inside The Lodge. This particular painting shows what the living spaces and how proud they are of themselves for making thing better for them and children. Another great example is the painting Indian Hunters Return. This painting shows a successful hunt and the celebration of the days work. Also it shows the life for an american indian in the winter. This …show more content…

This painting shows some american indians about to attack some cattle men while they are on a cattle drive. This is really prejudice against the american indians. They may just be observing the cattle men, but the name of the painting says differently.Another terrible painting is called Caught In The Act. In this painting there are some starving american indians that have kill some cowboys livestock. The american indians look to be began this young cowboy for the cows meet. He looks to be letting them take the meet. This painting looks completely mean. When I first saw it it look as though the indians had not prepared for winter and the cowboys is being merciful meaning the the american indians are hopeless. Another painting, York, shows that american indians don’t believe what they see meaning that they are once again

  • Charles Bird King And George Catlin: Case Study

    153 Words  | 1 Pages

    Hi Yulissa, I agree with your assessment of the paintings of Native American chiefs Charles Bird King and George Catlin. As you mentioned King painted his portrait of Keokuk Sac in his studio without having to travel and view the actual landscape and lifestyle of the Native Americans. I agree that Kings method calls into question the authenticity of the details of the portrait of Keokuk Sac. Also, Kings portrait shows little interaction between the artist and the subject. The methods of King directly contradict the methods of painting employed by artist George Catlin.

    The whole painting is in black and white which gives it a lugubrious tone. The angle of the portrait allows the audience to see the facial expression of each person in the painting. Both African American males have a sort of grin on their face, which shows that the painting is in favor of them. The communist, KKK member is depicted as a skeleton that is weak and being destroyed. The man that is stopping the communist member from hanging the little boy has a banner on that says CRC, which is a representation of the civil rights congress standing up for the rights of African Americans during that time.

  • Edward S. Curtiss Influence On American Photography

    Another man that was a great Native American photographer is Edward S. Curtis. He was born in 1868 in rural Wisconsin. Curtis probably had some contact with American Indians while growing up in Minnesota. However, most traditional Indian life there had disappeared by the time he and his family arrived in the 1870s, and there is no specific evidence of American Indian influence on his life at that time. At the age of twelve, Curtis built himself a camera using a stereopticon lens his father had brought back from the Civil War.

    In his essay, “the Silent Message of the Museum”, Fred Wilson discusses in depth his own projects that involves exhibition making. In particular, I want to focus on his seminal exhibition at the Maryland Historical Society in 1992, known as Mining the Museum. By rearranging and re-contextualizing the museum collections, Wilson is able to offer an entirely new perspective on these objects at odds with the previous bias and limitations, and thus make the invisible visible. Wilson starts off with his explanation of the exhibition title.

    Not many readers would be able to pick up on the faulty likeness of Native Americans because Cooper makes up for it with his unyieldingly violent action scenes. Levernier also concurs that, “the brutality of the Indians undercuts the romantic myth that [lies] in the wilderness of the New World” (Levernier). Unfortunately for Cooper, it takes a lot more than a few brief battle sequences to make up for clichéd personas of a rich

  • Oconaluftee Indian Village Sparknotes

    1153 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Oconaluftee Indian Village is a full-size replica of an eighteenth century Cherokee community located in Cherokee, North Carolina. The village brochure serves as an example of the intersection between Native American religions and American tourism in modernity. Tourism funds the attraction, which is owned and operated by the Cherokee Historical Association, and promotes an “authentic” experience that takes visitors back in time with “real Indians” as their subjects. By framing the natives as noble savages, the brochure reveals a history of Native American self-commodification. The Oconaluftee Indian Village both challenges and perpetuates historical trends in the relationship between religion and tourism by creating and defining authenticity

    American Indian culture has been rewritten by the European Colonists that came over to take what wasn’t theirs. These few pictures have depicted to me what their culture is all about. The meaningful relationships, the stories that would be told for lifetimes to come. These people have gone through a lifetime of struggle and hatred from Europeans, and even after all their suffering and torture the Europeans still rewrote the history books. The books very rarely touch upon subjects like native American philosophy or beliefs.

  • Analysis Of The War Dance Sioux By George Catlin

    357 Words  | 2 Pages

    As of February 26, 2016, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery website lists the philosophical viewpoint of George Catlin’s War Dance, Sioux painting, “Each warrior, in turn, jumps through the fire, and then advances shouting and boasting, and taking his oath, as he ‘strikes the reddened post.’”1 Catlin’s painting portrays an Indian cultural war dance ceremony held by males in an Indian village with Indian spectators gathered, possibly chanting their religious adage in support for their post battle preparation. Catlin’s encouragement came from his goal to capture the era’s historical Indian nation on canvas in hope to depict overtime the facts of the Native American life and culture. Many believe the War Dance, Sioux began as a sketch portrait and years later created as a painting by Catlin in his art studio.
