Inviting consignments through September 15

Published by the Heard Museum in association with Museum of New Mexico Press, Of God and Mortal Men: T.C. Cannon features essays by the Pulitzer Prize winning author N. Scott Momaday and art historians from several leading Western museums. T.C. Cannon A Singular American Voice Reconsidered TULSA, OKLA. — It is 40 years since T.C. Cannon (1946–1978) died, age 31, in a car accident south of Santa Fe. A singular voice and lasting influence, Cannon, an innovator who bridged cultures, is this year being honored by two major exhibitions and a thoughtful new book published by the Heard Museum in association with Museum of New Mexico Press. A show organized by the Peabody Essex Museum continues at Tulsa’s Gilcrease Museum through October 7. The first major traveling display of the artist’s work since 1990, “T.C. Cannon: At The Edge of America” arrays nearly 90 works, including 30 major paintings, works on paper, poetry and musical recordings. Deeply personal yet undeniably political, Cannon’s artwork channeled his cultural heritage, experience as a Vietnam War veteran and the turbulent social and political climate that defined the 1960s and 1970s. Amid ongoing conversations about iden- tity, social justice, land rights and cultural appropriation, Cannon’s work continues to engage audiences. “Cannon’s artworks hold a stunning energy…His large-scale paintings and expres- sive music show American history and pop culture through a Native American lens, tackling complex issues with a blend of raw emotion and humor,” says Gilcrease curator Laura Fry, Tommy Wayne (T.C.) Cannon grew up in a rural farming community in south- eastern Oklahoma, raised by his Kiowa father and Caddo mother. He fused visual elements from his Native American worldview with European and American artistic influences. Featuring contributions by David M. Roche, Ann E. Marshall, N. Scott Moma- day, John P. Lukavic, David Rettig, Diana F. Pardue and Gilbert Vicario, Of God and Mortal Men: T.C. Cannon accompanied the exhibition of the same name at the Heard Museum from October 2017 to April 2018. Nine major Cannon canvases from the Nancy and Richard Bloch collection formed the centerpiece of the Heard display. The Gilcrease Museum is at 1400 North Gilcrease Museum Road.
