“The Land of the Free” by William Gilbert Gaul (American) - Oil on canvas / c. 1900 - Blanton Museum of Art (Austin, Texas) #womeninart #art #oilpainting #sioux #womensart #BlantonMuseumofArt #artwork #WilliamGilbertGaul #Gaul #AmericanArt #AmericanArtist #NativeAmerican #mourning #GilbertGaul

The Sioux woman in American artist William Gilbert Gaul’s “The Land of the Free” stands firmly and solitarily. Her gaze out across the wide Western landscape is reverent, contemplative. She possesses the wisdom that only years of experiences can cultivate, and she draws upon it face the world.

While depictions of Native American men standing alone in majestic landscapes are common in American paintings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, solitary renderings of women in such environments are rare. This Sioux woman is wrapped in a Navajo blanket and perched atop a craggy valley rendered in thick oil impasto.

The Sioux often chose high places like mountain peaks, as depicted here, to bury their dead, and women mourned alone. The work’s title borrows from the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” used by the U.S. military during this time — well before it became the national anthem in 1931. William Gilbert Gaul, familiar with tribal funerary traditions from his experiences with the Sioux, may have set this twilight scene at its “last gleaming” to evoke the destruction done by U.S. forces against Native American communities at the turn of the century.

William Gilbert Gaul, sometimes called Gilbert Gaul, was a late 19th and early 20th century American painter and illustrator of military subjects ranging from the American Civil War to World War I, as well as American Western vistas and scenes like this one.

In 1882, Gaul was elected to the National Academy of Design when he was 27 years old. Later, he was awarded the medal of the American Art Association, the medal of the Paris Exposition in 1889, two bronze medals of the Chicago Exposition in 1893, the medal of the Buffalo Exposition in 1901, and a gold medal at the Appalachian Exhibition of 1910 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

"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.

Let that sink in. The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

Irene Taluta Eastman by Wallace Bryant (American) - Oil on canvas / 1915-1918 - Hood Museum of Art (Dartmouth, New Hampshire) #womeninart #painting #portrait #americanart #hoodmuseumofart #wallacebryant #womensart #portraitofawoman #dartmouth #sioux #amercansinger #americanartist #art #artwork

Irene “Taluta” Eastman was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, one of the six children of Charles Eastman and Elaine Goodale Eastman. Her father was a noted physician and a Santee Sioux born in Minnesota; her mother was a white writer and educator from Massachusetts. Her parents met at Wounded Knee.

Eastman, a soprano, sang, danced, and told stories in various venues, including the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences Hampton Institute, historical societies, community groups, and opera houses. She dressed in a leather beaded costume for her performances.

The music Eastman performed was not from any one specific Native tradition, but a pastiche that evoked an idea of Native cultures for non-Native audiences. "The stories were put to classical notes, and especially harmoniously arranged with all admirable Indian atmosphere saved", explained a 1915 report. Hamlin Garland wrote to Eastman's mother that her "charming presence and sweet and sympathetic voice gave even the dullest of her hearers a realizing sense of the wild beauty which had its place in a world that is almost gone."

Eastman died in 1918 from influenza, during the worldwide flu pandemic, at the age of 24. Her parents separated soon after her death. This oil portrait of Eastman by Wallace Bryant, in the collection of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, shows her with indigenous style headdress and attire plus colorful beaded necklaces contrasting with her long strait black hair.

Offener scheint zunächst
der Eigentümer des Schuhherstellers Sioux zu sein. Lewin Berner unterstützt das rechtspopulistische Onlinemagazin Tichys Einblick. Berner sagt ein Gespräch erst zu und will dann doch nur schriftlich Fragen beantworten. Stattdessen kommt eine Mail einer bekannten Presserechtskanzlei. Ihr Mandant wolle nicht sprechen, heißt es darin, garniert mit kaum versteckten Drohungen, gegen eine mögliche Berichterstattung vorgehen zu wollen.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1890, in an unacknowledged act of #genocide, the US military killed nearly 300 #Lakota #Sioux at #WoundedKnee. Soldiers went in to disarm the people, then opened fire on men, women, and children. 19 killers were given the #MedalOfHonor for this massacre.
