"Handsome Morning -- A Dakota" by Harry C Edwards (American) - Oil on canvas / 1921 - Brooklyn Museum (New York) #WomenInArt #art #ArtText #OilPainting #PortraitofaWoman #hcEdwards #HarryEdwards #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #BrooklynMuseum #womensart #AmericanArt #AmericanArtist #style #Dakota #Sioux

Brooklyn artist Harry C. Edwards’s striking studio portrait of Handsome Morning, a Native American woman the artist identifies as Dakota Sioux, reflects a turn-of-the-century fascination with romanticized subjects in costume. Handsome Morning’s regalia consists of a fringed dress with painted emblems and beaded yoke, a tubular bone-bead necklace, beaded moccasins, and a ceremonial robe of fur-lined buffalo hide painted with abstract motifs. It is likely that she was styled and posed according to conventional portrayals of Native American people made popular by the theatricalized portraits of photographer Edward S. Curtis, which included the mixing of tribal dress and ornamentation, and the use of stoic expressions and gestures.

Akin to the 1880 U.S. government–commissioned Crow Peace Delegation portraits, which were later appropriated and annotated by contemporary artist Wendy Red Star, Edwards’s use of his sitter’s name in the title signaled authenticity to viewers. Artists at the time were aware of the U.S. government’s long-standing exploitation of, and open assault on, the lives and lands of Native people. Edwards was likely motivated by an interest in his subject as a curiosity rather than by an active regard for her community.

Edward's identification of his sitter as a Dakota, or a Sioux, was intentional because the Sioux retained perhaps the most lasting hold on Euro-American imaginations partially due to publicity around the charismatic Ghost Dance movement. Inspired by the visions of a Paiute Indian, a wave of the Sioux communities began the practice of the Ghost Dance in the late nineteenth century to bring about the return of legions of their dead and of Sioux lands to their natural state. Fears of the movement's emotional force ultimately led to the murder of Sitting Bull and the violent confrontation at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1890.

'Dignity of Earth and Sky' is a 50 foot tall stainless steel sculpture in Chamberlain, South Dakota, on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River. It honors the culture of the #Lakota and #Dakota people indigenous to the region. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforSilver #photography #BlueSkyMonday #Dignity
