T.C. Cannon was a pioneering painter of Native American life
. Men and women were rendered in an almost cartoonish style, usually hunting, dancing or performing rites; they often wore headdresses or traditional clothing. Karen Kramer, a curator specialising in Native American and Oceanic Art, judges that such iconography persisted for decades because “the art market was hungry for this sentimental imagery of Native life that never seemed to change.”
In “Law North of the Rosebud, 1971”, for example, Cannon depicts a tribal policeman against a flat background of red, blue, purple and lime green. A sheriff’s star is pinned to his label and braids spill from a ten-gallon hat, but in his case aviator glasses obscure a more personal identity. He stands with his hand on his hip, slightly slouching, as if tired or unimpressed.
Cannon enlisted in the US Army in 1966, and a large part of the show is given over to this period. Several posters on display elsewhere in the museum address the apparent paradox of Native American military service, questioning why individuals would serve an army and government that attacked their culture.
