Artwork Funky Caravaggio: Focus, Content, Function, Tradition, Patron, Setting Bandolier bag F: These bags are based after ones used by European soldiers to store ammunition cartridges. They look different depending on which tribe made them and how much contact these tribes had with Europeans. C: This bag has thousands of small beads adorning the outside. They also have ribbons decorating them and were made of cotton or wool. Some even used animal hides along with the glass beads. F: These bags were originally used in ceremonies to complete ceremonious outfits but eventually were fitted with pockets. Although pockets started being added to these bags, they were not always intended to hold something. T: Personal preferences influenced this artwork, as well as what materials were at hand. The bags were used in ceremonial outfits. The artwork in this region dates back 4,000 years but these bags were most popular in the late 19th century.

It depicts the Sun Dance and Wolf Dance, although only the Sun Dance was religious. F: Painting originally was to record history but was later used to support the artist. The images also changed to what tourists liked instead of recording the artists history. T: Later paintings were influenced by the need to appeal to tourists so they would buy the artworks. Men and women both created these paintings, but men were the ones who generally created scenes on tipis, clothing, or shields. P: The artist who created this is Cotsiogo (Cadzi Cody), who was a member of the Shoshone people. He painted many hides while living on the Wind River Reservation. S: This piece was made between 1890-1900 by Cotsiogo. It is made of painted elk hide. This piece was made on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Trade (Gifts for Trading Land with White People) F: The subject matter of this piece is a mockery of the American lore that Native Americans were lured off their lands by trade goods. The problems surrounding this are the misunderstandings between Native Americans and Europeans, including the idea of land ownership. C: Many layers of paint, objects, and images are on this canvas. Including newspaper articles, photos, fruit carton labels, tobacco and gum wrappers, and comics. In the front is an outline of a canoe. Above the canvas are an array of toys and souvenirs, all Native American themed. [Show More]
