About the Item
Color lithograph: Edition 30
nrique Chagoya has created a pastoral pastiche based on George Caleb Bingham’s painting “Jolly Flatboatmen” and an Albert Bierstadt painting of the American West. It is a commentary on current immigration concerns with the scene populated by a diverse mix of characters. Using images appropriated from many sources, Chagoya has combined the heads from some images with bodies from others. He has Border Patrol officers with Indian headdresses and businessmen with turbans. He has drawn Humpty Dumpty as the Lone Ranger and many smaller figures appear in the background. Many of the characters have cartoon “bubbles” quoting “artspeak”….in this context the quotes become a satirical self-criticism of the print and its imagery.

Detention at the Border of Language
By Enrique Chagoya
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph, Edition 30.
The artist describes this project:
“In this work I defang the stereotypes of Native Americans depicted as primitive savages in the painting by Wimar. The mask and the Mayan head team up with a third character to form a fictitious, original, trans-continental Border Patrol. This work is a humorous reminder that all nations in the Americas were created by undocumented immigrants from Europe. Today, some politicians call refugees from Central America and other countries “illegal aliens” but for me they are no different from the Pilgrims or Daniel Boone...
