Synopsis
T. C. Cannon is one of the most influential and inventive Native American artists of the twentieth century. At work during the socially and politically turbulent 1960s and 1970s, Cannon created a signature visual vocabulary influenced by his Kiowa and Caddo heritage, and artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Robert Rauschenberg. In this vividly illustrated book, Cannon's paintings, prints, and drawings are illuminated alongside his poems and song lyrics. Meticulously researched, T. C. Cannon: At the Edge of America provides an intimate glimpse into the artist's life and work through art historical and interdisciplinary essays from scholars, painters, and those who knew him, and includes newly published personal ephemera, photographs, and both handwritten and typewritten manuscript pages. A special selection of original poetry from Native poets Joy Harjo, Sherwin Bitsui, Joan Naviyuk Kane, and Santee Frazier celebrate the artist's legacy and his ongoing inspiration. This publication accompanies a touring exhibition.

Hardcover. Condition: New. New in shrink wrap. Scarce. From the Notes on the show in 2018 at the Peabody Essex Museum that this book was made for:" T.C. Cannon embodied the activism, cultural transition and creative expression that defined America in the 1960's and '70s. Cannon's work ? as an artist, poet, and aspiring musician ? is deeply personal yet undeniably political, reflecting his cultural heritage, experience as a Vietnam War veteran, and the turbulent social and political period during which he worked. Cannon preferred bold color combinations, mash-ups between Native and non-Native elements and never shied away from the complexity and nuance of identity politics. T.C. Cannon: At the Edge of America celebrates Cannon's creative range and artistic legacy through nearly 90 paintings and works on paper, as well as poetry and music.". Seller Inventory # 001904
