  • To View the Exhibition Online
    Americans’ understanding of the history of the American West, including that of the Great Plains, has been significantly shaped by novels, movies, and television Westerns. These narratives often leave out the voices of the region’s Indigenous inhabitants, women, and other groups. This selection of works from the museum’s collection offers a more critical perspective on the historic and modern American West. Images by American Indian artists, for example, address the displacement of Native peoples and the challenge of maintaining cultural traditions. Other artworks highlight the idealization of the Western landscape as well as its overdevelopment. Still other works reassess the iconic status of historical Western figures. —Elizabeth G. Seaton, Curator Source for tribal names: Aaron Carapella, Map of Our Tribal Nations: Our Own Names and Original Locations (2015) and tribal websites. EDWARD MORAN born 1829, Bolton, United Kingdom died 1901, New York, New York Western Landscape, 1866 Oil on canvas Gift of Charles V. Kincaid, 1963.6 Moran presents a majestic mountain valley, pristine and devoid of humans, except for perhaps its imagined viewer. Similar mid-nineteenth-century works, as curator William Truetter has written, cast the Western landscape “as a new Eden, announcing its scenic wonders and publicizing its staggering resources.” Moran was an acclaimed painter of marine subjects, “fisherman at their toil, and water scenes and vessels,” as a biographer described. His brother Thomas, who accompanied several expeditions west, would become even better known for grand views of the continental interior. An 1880 art critic noted that all of Edward’s artist siblings were talented and versatile: “The public knows Thomas Moran as a landscapist, Edward Moran as a marine painter, Peter Moran as an animal-painter, although each of the brothers is excellent often outside of his distinctive sphere.” Edward Moran’s Western Landscape suffers problems that have until now prevented its display.

  • Minisa Crumbo Halsey the Accomplished Artist Shares an Insight Into Her Father, Thomas Gilcrease and Her Native American Upbringing
    Minisa Crumbo Halsey The accomplished artist shares an insight into her father, Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Chapter 1 — 1:08 Introduction Announcer: Woody Crumbo was born near Lexington, Oklahoma, on January 31, 1912, as Woodrow Wilson Crumbo on his Potawatomi mother’s tribal allotment of land. Unfortunately, by the time he was seven he was an orphan, but his nomadic early life, living with different Indian families, including Creek and Sioux, and later becoming friends with a group of Kiowas with whom he studied art, instilled an appreciation for the diverse and disappearing cultures and traditions of the country’s tribes. With art, Woody Crumbo found a way to honor, promote, and preserve this history. While studying at Wichita University and later the University of Oklahoma, he supported himself as a dancer, learning different tribe’s dances from across the nation. And he was one of the first Native American artists to take on oil painting as a medium. His daughter Minisa, an accomplished artist in her own right, shares an insight into her father, his relationship with Thomas Gilcrease and her Native American upbringing. Thanks to the University of Tulsa, foundations and individuals who believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time…you can hear Minisa Crumbo Halsey on VoicesofOklahoma.com. MINISA CRUMBO HALSEY 2 Chapter 2 — 9:00 The Crumbos John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is November 11, 2014. Minisa, would you state your full name please?
