メトロポリタン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (メトロポリタン美術館Instagram)「"His gaze limited by colonial blinkers, Ralph Earl did not adequately depict my two Muscogee companions or properly render my likeness as a time-traveling, shape-shifting, gender-fluid supernatural being whose radiance knows no equal.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instead, he placed in the foreground Marinus Willett, who participated in an attack in which a dozen Onondaga villages were burned to the ground, and who fought the Mohawks of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy before declaring himself advocate for the Creeks and compelling them to sign the 1790 Treaty of New York—one of five hundred treaties that would soon be broken by the US government.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For these manipulations, Willett was gifted this fine Parisian sword, whose many layers of meaning, dear viewer, I shall leave to you to interpret."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ —Miss Chief Eagle Testickle (alter ego of Kent Monkman, Cree)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As part of our #NativePerspectives series, we invited Cree artist @kentmonkman, and his alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, to recontextualize this 1790s portrait of Marinus Willett. 👆 ⁣ ⁣ Miss Chief often appears in Monkman's work as a time-traveling, shape-shifting, supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze to challenge received notions of history and Indigenous peoples. #NAHM #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Starting December 19, see two monumental paintings by Monkman (and featuring Miss Chief) on view at The Met, created as part of our inaugural Great Hall Commission. #MetGreatHall #MetKentMonkman⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🎨 Ralph Earl (American, 1751–1801). Marinus Willett, ca. 1791. Oil on canvas. On view in Gallery 753.」12月1日 3時34分
