This specific work (Big Soldier) is musume framed AP (Artist Proof), and along with two other specific works (Dinè) and (Zero Hero) that are also musume framed and listed here on eBay are coming out of a private collection that was first displayed at the Smithsonian’s “Two American Painters: Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon,” which was a landmark exhibition of paintings by T.C. Cannon and Fritz Scholder in 1972 at the National Collection of Fine Arts, now the Smithsonian American Art Museum. That exhibition ran from April 7–May 29, 1972 and traveled to several European cities. It was a collaboration between Cannon and Scholder to subvert visual stereotypes about Native Americans. This very same collection of three specific work where then displayed in The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) ”T.C. Cannon: At the Edge of America’ in 2017. That exhibation showed nearly 90 works, including 30 major paintings, works on paper. It was a groundbreaking exhibition that was organized by PEM and toured the USA at various museums through 2019. It was the first major traveling exhibition of T.C. Cannon works since 1990. So to say the least, this specific work along with the other two have a very solid province and have been seen in many major American museums. These three works where custome framed under musume glass by The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in 2017. The current private owner wishes to stay anonymous and hopes that a potential collector will keep the set of three intact. *If a potential buyer purchase all three works at one time we will forgo the shipping cost. This unique original hand signed monochromatic sumi-ink linocut print on cotton-rag paper title ”Big Soldier” measures 26″ x 22” unframed and 45″ x 35.5″ custom framed behind musume glass. The work is in very good original condition for being over 50 or more years old. The linocut is hand signed signed in graphite by TC Cannon in the bottom right hand corner, then numbered in the middle AP (Artist Proof) and titled ”Big Soldier” in graphite in the bottom left hand corner. This was the only AP (Artist Proof) ever produced before the template was destroyed by the artist before his death. ”Big Soldier” is a very rare work. The work is custome framed by The Peabody Essex Museum. This particular image was first showcased at the 1972 exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution, entitled “Two American Artists,” presented the works of T. C. Cannon and Fritz Scholder. This was the first opportunity afforded living American Indian artists to exhibit in the heart of the capitol—an honor as high as could be bestowed by the country. Following this exhibit, the works traveled to European capitols under the sponsorship of the Department of the Interior. In this linocut, ”Big Soldier” epitomizes Cannon’s expressionist ideas to depict his ideal warrior—big, tough, and looking like he would never yield an inch. He signs his name with an X. A linocut is a print from linoleum in which the artist has carved his intended image. This particular image was released in an edition of only 15 copies. This is an AP (Artist Proof). This image appeared in the exhibit T. C. Cannon—Native American a New View of the West. This one-man exhibit was shown at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center, September 14 through November 4, 1990. It was exhibited also at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indian and Western Art from December 20, 1990 to March 24, 1991. It is published in the catalog of the two exhibits. *TWO OTHER linocut prints from this era/series are also available. ”Dinè” & ”Zero Hero” are also available. If interested, reach out to FaraHNHeight Fine Art Gallery. ** THIS LISTING IS FOR ONLY ”Big Soldier’ an original uncirculated linocut hand signed custome framed. THE OTHER PICS ARE OF OTHER AVAILABLE WORKS SOLD SEPARATELY! T.C. Cannon (1946-1978) T.C. Cannon was born in 1946 in Lawton, Oklahoma. He attended public schools in Gracemont, Oklahoma from 1955-64. He then had two years at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. While there he worked with Fritz Scholder and learned much from him. After one year at the San Francisco Art Institute he returned to Santa Fe to attend college there, studying painting and philosophy during 1969-70. In 1971 Cannon enters Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma, where he graduated three years later. Painting and Graphics by TC Cannon, is the first major exhibit for Cannon and is shown at the Southern Plains Indian Museum, arts and crafts center in Anadarko, Oklahoma. In 1972 the Smithsonian Institute honored Cannon and Fritz Scholder with a two-man show at the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington D.C. Cannon is now established as an artist of national note. In 1974 Cannon makes his permanent home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1975 Cannon is invited to become part of the famous artist -in- residence at Dartmouth College. During this year he begins to plan collaborations with Japanese master woodcutter Maeda and master printer Uchikawa. This relationship, which continued until the time of his death, resulted in a publication of what is known as the Memorial Woodcut Suite.His artistic works, in conjunction with those of Fritz Scholder (Luiseño) and Oscar Howe (Lakota), represent the turning point of Indian painting in post–World War II America. These three artists’ styles represent a shift from the earlier flat, two-dimensional traditional painting on paper and canvas surfaces, which presented little modeling and static images of people, land, and animals. Cannon was a student at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, when he and his instructor, Fritz Scholder, recast the idea of the ”Indian” into one that represents an artistic vision of people within the context of both traditional and contemporary culture. Cannon was the youngest of the three great painters, and his war experience, which influenced his work, came in Vietnam in the U.S. Army 101st Air Cavalry. At the Institute in Santa Fe he developed an intellectual curiosity that led him to read philosophy, world literature, poetry, and art history, and he was fascinated by music. He finished a bachelor of arts degree at Central State University (now the University of Central Oklahoma) in Edmond in 1972.Cannon’s signature works represent an incorporation of European and American painting styles with that of Indian culture. For example, Beef Issue at Fort Sill (1973, acrylic on canvas) presents brilliant colors, a mushroom-shaped cloud, and a Matisse-like composition of space that is divided into grids of right-parallel squares that run off the canvas. The startling images of two women carving up a prone beef carcass, with a dog on either side, represents the new look of Indian painting. The women are without facial features, and the dogs and dead animal are indicators of a time in both the present and the past. Until his untimely death in an automobile accident on May 8, 1978, near Santa Fe, New Mexico, T. C. Cannon continued to paint on both canvas and murals and also continued printmaking and writing poetry. His works are held by the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, the Southern Plains Indian Museum in Anadarko, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, and numerous private collections.T. C. Cannon is regarded as the most eloquent and innovative of the Native American Artist, who helped change the direction of the traditional Indian art to the “New Wave” movement that characterizes that Genre today.
