    Abstract (English)

    Catalogue for an exhibition on the history of Native American painting and the powow ritual (late 1800s – late 1900s), by guest curators Martin and Boyer. Boyer traces the powow’s history through the work and testimony of Hidatsa artist E. Goodbird, the history of hide painting, the Ledger Art movement (books of drawings by Native American political prisoners), the Kiowa Five style of painting and the work of Lakota painter O. Howe. After a brief overview of the development of powow dances, Martin provides an art historical analysis of powow representations since the late 19th century. She also discusses the issue of cultural authenticity (beginning in the 1930s), and places emphasis on the increased popularity of the powow and the vitality of contemporary Aboriginal art.

  • REVEAL · Works from the Collection

    In the first floor galleries, REVEAL is an exhibition of artworks from the museum’s permanent collection featuring 12 acquisitions which have not previously been on view. Additionally, a range of mediums and diverse expressions are highlighted.


    Now numbering over 1,300 contemporary works of art, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art permanent collection continues to grow annually – both in size and importance. REVEAL features numerous acquisitions which have not previously been in an exhibition. Additionally, a range of mediums and diverse expressions are highlighted.

    It should be noted that much of the collection has been acquired through private funding – most especially, through the generous support of The Tony and Marti Oppenheimer Foundation, Los Angeles and the Barton P. and Mary D. Cohen Charitable Trust, Overland Park. The museum’s biennial, Beyond Bounds fundraiser also serves as a critical funding source for extending the collection, along with other private gifts. REVEAL offers a glimpse of “new-to-view” works, and allows for new juxtapositions of long-held pieces.

    One measure of the growing importance of the Nerman MoCA collection is the number of annual loan requests the museum receives from the major museums throughout the country and internationally. Currently the Nerman has confirmed (or pending) loans of art to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; the Phoenix Art Museum, AZ; the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA; the Portland Art Museum, OR; the Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. Such loans heighten the national profile of Johnson County Community College and considerably enhance the museum’s educational value.

    In 2006, Johnson County Community College was named one of the “Big 10” universities or colleges in America for art on campus. The works exhibited wit

  • Before we get into today’s post, a reminder that this Saturday, September 30, we’ll be watching EDGE OF TOMORROW, with you, for the latest [WORLDS WORTH WATCHING] at 5pm ET / 2pm PT. We hope you’ll join us for the film!

    Today, we are proud to present a special process post from THE VALLARS colorist Frank Martin. He’s currently working away on BOOK TWO of the series, but we wanted to give you a little treat to help tide you over while the series is on hiatus. Frank initially wasn’t sure what to talk about when we first reached out to him, but we think this is a fascinating look into his mindset and approach, plus some gorgeous color process shots from the initial flats to the final rendered pages.

    Frank Martin: I’m Francisco Martins de Souza Jr, professionally known as Frank Martin, and I’ve been coloring comic books since 1998. During this period, I’ve worked with some of the largest franchises and professionals around the world.

    I think in a lot of ways there are really only two kinds of colorists. On the one hand, you have colorists who develop a style and remain faithful to it regardless of the line artist/creative partner. On the other hand, there’s another, much more obscure group who tends to adapt to the style of the line art. The line between the two groups is neither sharp nor immutable, and I tend to find

    Frank Cooper Craighead Jr. (August 14, 1916 – October 21, 2001) and John Johnson Craighead (August 14, 1916 – September 18, 2016), twin brothers, were American conservationists, naturalists, and researchers who made important contributions to the studies of falconry and grizzly bear biology. The brothers were born in Washington, D.C., where both graduated from Western High School in 1935. The brothers began collecting and identifying animals and plants they found alongside the Potomac and soon expanded their interests to birds and hawks. They traveled west in 1934 to begin studying falconry. After World War II, during which they were employed as survival trainers, they each married and resumed their work in falconry. During the 1950s, the Craighead brothers expanded their work to other animals, including many species living in and around Yellowstone, and eventually separated.

    In 1959 their careers merged again, this time to begin a 12-year study of grizzly bears in Yellowstone since the animals were considered threatened by increased human activity. However, a 1971 disagreement with the National Park Service ended their Yellowstone studies. Fortunately, their work continued elsewhere in Montana, including the Scapegoat Wilderness. After 1976, their work was mostly confined to field guides and educating the public about environmentalism. Their work in field ecology continued until Frank's death in 2001 from Pa
