    Om dette kunstværk

    Two Eagle Dancers — stephen mopope

    Stephen Mopope, was born August 27, 1898 on the Kiowa Reservation located within Indian Territory. He was given the Kiowa name “Qued Koi,” translated into “Painted Robe,” and was born from a mixed ancestry of Kiowa of his mother’s bloodline and Spanish from his grandfather, who was a captive adopted into the tribe. As a young boy, Mopope, was observed to be a natural artist drawing pictures in the sand, so family members taught him the tradition of painting on animal hides and tipis. Painting on hides was the foremost method used by tribal communities to record historically significant events known as “Winter counts” for the time of year they were created. The Kiowa differed in creating two per year versus one, which would give a more detailed account of their history. During the early reservation period of the 20th Century, education for Indian children was mandated through Federal boarding and mission schools where the children learned basic skills in English, math, and in this case, art. Stephen Mopope was one of the young Kiowa artists who showed promise and enthusiasm in developing new skills after receiving a limited education in art at the mission schools. Mopope and five other developing Kiowa artists, including a female, Lois Smoky, who later left the program, were brought to the attention of Oscar Jacobson, Director of the Art program at the University of Oklahoma from 1915-1954. Through their training and guidance under Jacobson, the artists progressed and became known as the “Kiowa Five,” adhering to traditional motifs using their limited early training to pioneer the “Flat style.” The “Flat style,” was named for its lack of lack of depth, which held the historical integrity of hide and tipi paintings used to record tribal events and became the most recognizable and defined style of Native American artists until the 1960s when they began to redefine art as individuals, breaking away from the traditional style.In June 1936, Oscar Jacobson, who was in charge of WPA projects for Oklahoma, commissioned Mopope, assisted by “Kiowa Five” associates James Auchiah and Spencer Asah, to undertake the task of painting 16 murals in the newly constructed post office in Anadarko, Oklahoma. Mopope was also chosen because he was considered by Jacobson to be the best and most outgoing artist of the “Kiowa Five,” a trait which necessary to becoming the lead for the project. His cultural ties to Anadarko, home to the Kiowa, would provide an accurate depiction of the culture from his personal experiences. Mopope was also chosen as one of the few Native artists to paint murals in the new Department of Interior building in Washington, DC, home office the Bureau of Indian Affairs, after it was constructed in 1936. Having come from a line of tipi artists, Mopope had experience in creating large mural like paintings coming from a line of artists who produced hide and tipi paintings. Mopope’s artistic lineage included two of the most influential and visible Kiowa artists of the time within his family which included his great uncles Silver Horn or “Haungooah,” and Oheltoint. Silver Horn was one of the most recognizable Kiowa artists from 1850-1900 when their nomadic way of life came to an end and the reservation era began. Oheltoint was a prisoner of war at Ft Marion in St. Augustine, Florida at the end of the Red River Wars in 1875 and one of the artists who helped pioneer the Indian “Ledger style” of art popular from the 1860’s until the 1920s which was also influential within the ‘Flat Style.”The origins of Native American art are not known, but the subjects have continuously been symbolic in nature recording aspects of everyday life, important events, and religious beliefs. As a young boy, Mopope learned the significance of recording those memories and the role they play within Native culture through the guidance of his great uncles Silver Horn and Oheltoint. Art was not originally created for its aesthetic qualities, but as a way to capture all the separate elements of life together representing the holistic view of Native people. Mopope was influenced through his experiences as not only an artist, but as an accomplished dancer and flute player providing another way of expressing himself through his culture.Historically, Native cultures have adapted and been influenced by each other through food ways, religion, and trade out of necessity for survival. The mural The Two Eagle Dancers is an example of an aspect of Kiowa culture adopted from the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. The creation stories and history of the Kiowa originate in “the cold north land” according to Kiowa oratory and is now thought to be Southern Canada. Through the 16th and 17th Century the Kiowa migrated south. The Kiowa adopted aspects of culture from other tribes, such as the sacred sun dance and the horse as they migrated through what are now the states of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and eventually the Southern Plains../..

    Smithsonian's National Postal Museum

    Udstillet på Washington, D.C., USA

    En krønike om forbindelse: Sjælen i National Postal Museum

    Gemt i Washington D.C.'s historiske storhed ligger Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum i den magnifikke Postal Square Building, en bygning der fungerer som meget mere end blot en beholder for artefakter. Designet af de berømte arkitekter Graham og Burnham i 1914, er selve bygningen et mesterværk inden for det tidlige tyvende århundredes borgerlige arkitektur. Når man træder gennem den imponerende facade, fremkalder de svimlende lofter og de svungne trapper en æra af bestandighed og formål, som minder enhver besøgende om en tid, hvor kommunikation var en fysisk, taktil bedrift. Selve fundamentet i denne institution—engang det pulserende hjerte i byens centrale posthus—hvisker historier om en verden før den digitale tidsalder, hvor ankomsten af et brev var en skelsættende begivenhed, der bar vægten af nyheder, længsel og menneskelig forbindelse.

    At vandre gennem disse sale er at påbegynde en rejse, der rækker langt ud over den simple filateli. Selvom museet huser en af de mest omfattende frimærkesamlinger i eksistens, ville det være at overse deres dybe kunstneriske og historiske betydning, hvis man blot betragtede disse farverige, klæbrige miniaturet som rene objekter. Hvert frimærke fungerer som et lille, omhyggeligt designet vindue til en svunden tid, der indfanger de æstetiske sansninger, politiske skift og kulturelle triumfer fra fortidens nationer. For kunstelskere repræsenterer disse stykker et unikt krydsfelt mellem grafisk design og historisk fortælling, hvor hver linje og nuance blev valgt for at formidle identitet og prestige. Samlingen lever gennem sine storslåede udstillinger af transportmidler, der fremviser de mekaniske vidundere, som engang overvandt enorme afstande. Besøgende finder sig selv bergtaget af en imponerende række af vintage postvogne, omhyggeligt restaurerede jernbanevogne og de pionerende flyvemaskiner, der fødte luftpostens tidsalder.

    Disse maskiner præsenteres ikke blot som relikvier fra industrien, men som symboler på menneskelig opfindsomhed og den utrættelige stræben efter intimitet på tværs af kontinenter. Udstillingerne, der detaljeret beskriver udviklingen af jernbane- og lufttransport, illustrerer en verden i formindskelse, hvor innovation fungerede som katalysator for national og international enhed. Denne sømløse blanding af mekanisk historie og rejsens romantik skaber en fordybende atmosfære, der resonerer dybt hos dem, der værdsætter fremskridtets skønhed. For interiørdesigneren eller samleren, der søger inspiration i krydsfeltet mellem nytteværdi og elegance, tilbyder museet en mesterklasse i, hvordan funktionelle genstande kan blive ikoner for kulturarv.

    Det, der virkelig adskiller National Postal Museum, er dets dybe evne til at menneskeliggøre historiens store linjer gennem intime, personlige fortællinger. Museet mestrer balancen mellem det monumentale og det mikroskopiske, som f.eks. den rørende erhvervelse af

    John Lennons frimærkesamling fra barndommen

    . Dette enkelte, delikate arkiv tilbyder et sjældent indblik i de formative passioner hos et globalt ikon og minder os om, at selv de mest legendariske skikkelser engang var forbundet med verden gennem den simple magi i et leveret brev. Gennem tilbagevendende udstillinger, der udforsker temaer som migration, kommunikation og postkunst, inviterer museet alle, der træder ind, til at overveje, hvordan leveringsmetoder har formet vores selve begreb om fællesskab. Det er et mindernes fristed, hvor hvert artefakt tjener som et vidnesbyrd om det vedvarende menneskelige ønske om at række ud, dele og forblive forbundet på tværs af tidens og rummets uendelighed.
