al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1220

kent monkman -- "welcoming the newcomers" [from the diptych" "mistikôsiwak (wooden boat people)"] (2019)

"history is a narrative; it's a collection of stories sanctioned by the ruling power, and reinforced through words and images that suit them. that was the whole point of taking on history painting: to authorize these moments that have been swept under the rug for generations" … kent monkman

"i use the vocabulary of painting. that’s my chosen language. it’s something that’s accessible to everybody. the elderly, the young, people of whatever cultural background — they can all read a representational image" … kent monkman

"that 'representational' is significant. after an early career learning about the properties of paint via attempts at abstract art, monkman gradually went in the opposite direction. he had an epiphany in 2011 at the prado in madrid, where a canvas by antonio gisbert awakened him to the lost art of history painting. acutely conscious of how the indigenous story had been distorted and outright ignored by settler artists in north america, he then set about correcting that erasure via a subversive engagement with that fundamentally flawed history" … ian mcgillis

"what they said … oh, and happy indigenous peoples' day weekend" … al janik

The canvas depicts Queen Maria de Molina (c.1264-1321 ), widow of Sancho IV of Castile, presenting her son Ferdinand IV of Castile (1285-1312) at the Cortes of Valladolid in 1295, where Queen Maria de Molina succeeded in getting all the procurators present at the Cortes to pay homage to King Ferdinand IV, to recognise the infant Henry of Castile the Senator, son of Ferdinand III of Castile, as the king's guardian, and to entrust the custody and upbringing of Ferdinand IV to Queen Maria de Molina herself. King Ferdinand IV was 10 years old at the time of the events.
