John Coleman (b. 1949)
Mato-Tope 1833, 2021
bronze, 13/20
31 x 14 x 11 inches
inscribed: “Mato-Tope” 1833 John Coleman CA c 2021 13/20
In this piece, artist John Coleman pays tribute to Mato-Tope, a Mandan chief who also happened to be an artist. On paper, Mato-Tope himself recorded images from some of his battles. His portrait was painted by both Karl Bodmer and George Catlin who are said to have influenced Mato-Tope’s artistic style.
“My sculpture of Mato-Tope is after a Karl Bodmer watercolor from about 1834. He stood proudly for Bodmer, adorned in his finest clothing with accoutrements that related to past victories of war…this battle was one that Mato-Tope painted for Bodmer.” – John ColemanCondition
The sculpture appears to be in good condition with no damage or evidence of restoration. The surface of the sculpture has a polychrome patina; it is mounted on a dark brown walnut base.
