Got to see the Susan #Wick exhibit, a local Denver artist, and the most extraordinary traveling exhibit Kent Monkman’s History is Painted by the Victors at the #DenverArtMuseum If you have a chance to see it near you, make the effort! He’s from the #Cree tribe, and his paintings disrupt the narrative of what North Americans are taught about the conquest of the indigenous, and the repression of #TwoSpirit culture. And it is unbelievably beautiful. Starring Miss Chief in many of the narratives. #queer #trans #art #OldMasters (I apologize for lack of alt text, when I can get the brace off or to a real keyboard I will add descriptions of the four Kent Mockman pieces below.)

"The painter shall not just paint what he sees before himself, but also, what he sees inside himself.
If he doesn't see anything inside himself, then he shall cease to paint what he sees before him."Caspar David Friedrich (my translation)
Picture: Der Chasseur im Walde, 1814
