Description

This is the first in a series of American Indian heads I'm creating. The work is ironic in that it is a painting of an American Indian by a white male with a European Ancestry. The expression on his face is ambiguous, open to interpretation by the viewer. Is it mournful? Is it angered? Is it contemplative? Is it appreciative almost happy? The viewers response to the work is a significant part of the narrative because it represents the imposed ideas of other cultures upon the American Indian since Europeans first came in contact with them. It is a continued expression of European imposition upon the once undiluted culture of the American Indian.
