- Lot Description
Bonnie Halsey-Dutton (American, Contemporary). "Apsaalooke" watercolor and gouache on paper, 2009. Signed and dated on lower right. The dramatic presence of the crow in this painting by Bonnie Halsey-Dutton pays homage to the Crow peoples who call themselves "Apsaalooke" meaning "Children of the Large-Beaked Bird". Also profoundly symbolic is the brilliant sun referencing the official Crow seal with its orb-like center signifying the united Crow people and its rays representing the tribe's many branches. Interestingly, the warrior on horseback, with a handprint on the horse, surrounded by arrows was inspired by a Crow ledger drawing that captivated Halsey-Dutton. All is delineated in Halsey-Dutton's expressive manner and uniquely floated upon a backdrop that the artist painted to resemble animal hide in a deep acrylic shadowbox frame. Size (painting): 30" L x 11" W (76.2 cm x 27.9 cm) Size (shadowbox): 34.5" L x 15.4" W x 2.7" D (87.6 cm x 39.1 cm x 6.9 cm)
Halsey-Dutton has used shadowbox framing to underscore the cultural importance of the theme and suggest a treasured museum artifact. This piece is painted on heavy-weight archival watercolor paper, and the manner of paint application was intended to convey age and weathering. In addition, the paper's deckled edge further imbues the piece with a sense of history.
Bonnie Halsey-Dutton was born and raised in South Dakota and is inspired by the local cultures where she resides as well as their history. She has provide the following statement about this piece, "The image of a mounted rider in this painting is inspired by a Crow ledger drawing. When Native American artists were displaced onto reservations, they often utilized discarded ledger books to record their experiences. Often, Native drawn images were placed over the top of the old handwriting, creating a visual dichotomy of life at the time. The sun in the painting is representative of the official Crow Indian seal. The center of the sun depicts the united Crow people, and the rays represent the many branches of the tribe.
The Native American tribe known as the Crow Indians call themselves 'Apsaalooke', meaning Children of the Large-Beaked Bird. French traders mistakenly translated the name to Crow, and although it became known historically, it was not technically a correct translation. As the native tribes were pushed west by United States expansion, they often were forced onto other natives' territories, compelling a continuous battle for existence. The stories of these struggles were often recorded on animal hides and also passed down as oral narratives."
Dr. Halsey-Dutton is both a professional visual artist and a fine arts educator, holding a PhD in Art History and Education from the University of Arizona. She exhibits her artwork both nationally and internationally, and also teaches art education workshops at home and abroad.
