Specificatii
The largest known collection of ledger art ever acquired by one
individual is Mark Lansburgh's diverse assemblage of more than 140
drawings, now held by the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College
and catalogued in this important book. The Cheyennes, Crows,
Kiowas, Lakotas, and other Plains peoples created the genre known
as ledger art in the mid-nineteenth century. Before that time,
these Indians had chronicled the heroic achievements of their
warriors and chiefs on rock, buffalo robes, and tipi covers. As
they came into increasing contact with American traders, the
artists recorded their experiences in pencil and crayon drawings on
paper bound in ledger or account books. The drawings became known
as ledger art.This volume presents in full color the Lansburgh
collection in its entirety. The drawings are narratives depicting
Plains lifeways through Plains eyes. They include landscapes and
scenes of battle, hunting, courting, ceremony, incarceration, and
travel by foot, horse, train, and boat. Ledger art also served to
prompt memories of horse raids and heroic exploits in battle.In
addition to showcasing the Lansburgh collection, Ledger Narratives
augments the growing literature on this art form by providing seven
new essays that suggest some of the many stories the drawings
contain and that look at them from innovative perspectives. The
authors--scholars of art history, anthropology, history, and Native
American studies--touch on such themes as gender, social status,
sovereignty, tribal and intertribal politics, economic exchange,
and confinement and space in a changing world. The Lansburgh
collection includes some of the most arresting examples of Plains
Indian art, and the essays in this volume help us see and hear the
multiple narratives these drawings relate.
