After discovering your blog, I would imagine your class to be very engaging and thought provoking. <br />Not quite sure who your friend is referring to. <br />Kirby Sattler does not have a "brother"<br />I'm sticking to what the artist has to say for himself.<br />His art interpretations give a feeling of authenticity without being specific to a particular tribe. http://kirbysattler.sattlerartprint.com/techniqueinspiration.html<br />"I purposely do not denote a tribal affiliation to the majority of my subjects, rather, I attempt to give the paintings an authentic appearance, provoke interest, satisfy my audience’s sensibilities of the subject without the constraints of having to adhere to historical accuracy."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-3908946775677694692012-03-11T19:33:19.197-07:002012-03-11T19:33:19.197-07:00:) It's all good. Thanks for coming back... ...:) It's all good. Thanks for coming back... Nearly all of Sattler's work consists of Northern Plains imagery, so that reinforced my conviction. Some folks on the Northern Plains attached dead birds to their hair. Black Elk describes a friend doing this before he rushed off to fight Custer's soldiers. I have not seen Apache adornment that does the same.... Also, the syntax of the painting's title makes me think of "Crow" as the people rather than the bird. "I am Crow" would be similar to saying "I am American." I guess someone could also say "I am crow" and mean the spirit or essence of the bird, but I would expect that to be stated as "I am the crow."... Finally, a friend of mine is acquainted with Sattler's brother, and she has several autographed prints from Sattler. She reassures me that his images are inspired by Crow, Blackfeet, and Sioux cultures.Scott Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185977061159785550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-43108037087807587942012-03-11T19:01:19.700-07:002012-03-11T19:01:19.700-07:00Touche...whoever I am...I clearly can't spell....Touche...whoever I am...I clearly can't spell. I agree, the Edward Curtis photo does appear similar to the "I Am Crow" painting. And, I would have been convinced had the headdress carried a crow as opposed to a hawk. Guess we'lll never know exactly what Sattler's vision was when he created "I Am Crow" Never assume anything, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-51638106892019434042012-03-10T17:52:19.699-08:002012-03-10T17:52:19.699-08:00Delicious irony of misspelling idiot, no?.... Who...Delicious irony of misspelling idiot, no?.... Whoever you are, you raise a potentially good point: Is it safe for me to assume that "I am Crow" does not merely refer to the man embodying the spirit of a bird? I assume the man is intended to represent a member of the Crow Nation because of an Edward Curtis image of a Crow man named Two Whistles wearing a similar headpiece. http://peter-williams-art.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.htmlScott Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185977061159785550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-17052430897606634862012-03-10T17:21:46.788-08:002012-03-10T17:21:46.788-08:00You're an idoiot...

The Crow is a spiritual messenger and Native American Totem. You have taken the title of this painting too literal. A title chosen for a work of art is only offered to help describe the painting, nothing more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
