Did You Know?

T. C. Cannon studied with Native American painter Fritz Scholder while a student at the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Description

One of the most highly sought-after Indigenous artists, Cannon was a talented painter and an enrolled member of the Kiowa Tribe. His distinct portraits of Native subjects, infused with a bright color palette and drawing from a Pop aesthetic, combine both traditional and contemporary aesthetic traditions. The group in its entirety gives an overview of the artist’s unique visual vocabulary and investigations into the nuance and complexity of Indigenous identity. Each print is based on a major painting in the artist’s oeuvre.
This vertically oriented color woodcut depicts a woman with medium skin tone, red face paint, and long black braids. She faces us, her hands resting on a wide, studded belt over her red robe with white circles and gold stars. A necklace with a gold cross hangs at her chest. Behind her, a window reveals green trees and clouds under a blue sky. Black borders feature yellow floral vines and multicolored shapes on the right.
