Joe Shannon 1
"Skull with Green Bottle", 1979

1979

About the Item

Acrylic on canvas painting by Joe Shannon (b.1933). Titled "Skull with green bottle." Signed and dated 1979. Acquired from a prominent Washington D.C. collection. New York Times art critic Grace Glueck observed that "Mr. Shannon's brisk way of painting his urban grotesqueries - he gets it all down like a born storyteller without too much fuss over how - belies their disturbing content. They don't stay with you too long, but they do evoke our age of anxiety." Joe Shannon has been exhibited and collected by numerous museums including, the Corcoran, Hirshhorn and Brooklyn Museums.

  • Many Horse Shield Original Kevin Red Star Acrylic Crow Native American Western
    By Kevin Red Star
    Located in Whitefish, MT
    "Many Horse Shield" by Kevin Red Star. Original Acrylic painting on Canvas, 48" x 30", 51" x 33" (framed). Crows were known for their exceptionally well-trained horses; each having specific skills i.e. hunting, warring, parade, and working with women and children, or moving camp. Kevin Red Star’s art is honored throughout Native America for its authenticity. It presents a shining vision of centuries-old Crow (Apsaalooka) culture through the eyes of a thoroughly contemporary consciousness. In the world of museums and private collections, he is equally respected for the content of his unique imagery, for his artistic productivity, and for the enduring value of his work. Kevin Red Star grew up on the Crow reservation in southern Montana, a member of a highly creative family. He was known as the go-to artist for all school projects. He was chosen to be in the first group of students at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe in the late sixties, when the founders personally visited Native villages and reservations nationwide and recruited the most talented youngsters from each. The school provided a learning environment of tribal tradition, world art history, and current trends. Open studios, well stocked with supplies, encouraged individual experimentation and collaboration. Students mined their ancient customs for content, and then created exciting new forms to provide current relevance. Red Star and some of his friends in their graduating class continued their studies at the San Francisco Art Institute before embarking on their careers. They attracted immediate notice in New York and Paris, as well as established art centers throughout the United States. And they went on to change the face of modern Indian art...
