Indian artists reveal meaning of their art during benefit show
By Brenda Krebs
Special to the Kansan
The Pawnee artist towered above the crowd. His dark complexion, pensive eyes and white cowboy hat he wore as vivid as the one he had painted.
"Most people don't understand my work. Everything has a meaning." artist Charles Chapman said. "It is not as simple as it looks."
Chapman was one of 96 artists who entered works in the second annual Lawrence Indian Arts Show that the KU Museum of Anthropology.
The benefit opening provided an opportunity for people to share wine, cheese and conversation with many others who had created the works on display.
During the opening, artists talked to visitors about the meaning behind their works.
For example, Chapman's work titled "Renewing the Buffalo Rope" depicted an entire Indian ceremony, and painting of the painting had a behind story.
"The meaning behind my works comes from stories that my grandfather shared with me," he said.
In addition to paintings like Chapman's, the show featured bronze and
limestone sculptures, clay pottery,
hand-woven baskets, wool rugs, porcupine-quill beadwork, Indian dolls and courtship flutes.
Choctaw artist Paul Hacker said courtship flutes were used by Indian men to woo women by the fire at night.
Friday night, Hacker received a merit award and $25 in prize money for his flute, "The Raven," made of redwood, cedar and glass beads.
Prize money totaling $5,500 was awarded to 16 of the artists. The two top winners were Apache artist Craig Dan Goseyun's "Day-Dreaming," a bronze sculpture of an Indian woman in repose, and Cherokee/Blackfoot artist Kari Blythe's abstract work created with gold leaf on handmade indigo paper.
Every piece on display was available for sale. Early Friday evening, there was an auction of works donated by last year's artists.
"Last year the artists came up with the idea of a silent auction to help support future shows," said Kristen Dilmore, director of the Indian Art Show.
The show will continue at the KU Museum of Anthropology through Nov. 4. Many works still are available for purchase.
