9/16/2017 0 Comments T.C. CannonCannon's signature works represent an incorporation of European and American painting styles with that of Indian culture.For example, Beef Issue at Fort Sill (1973, acrylic on canvas) presents brilliant colors, a mushroom-shaped cloud, and a Matisse-like composition of space that is divided into grids of right-parallel squares that run off the canvas. The startling images of two women carving up a prone beef carcass, with a dog on either side, represents the new look of Indian painting. The women are without facial features, and the dogs and dead animal are indicators of a time in both the present and the past. Until his untimely death in an automobile accident on May 8, 1978, near Santa Fe, New Mexico, T. C. Cannon continued to paint on both canvas and murals and also continued printmaking and writing poetry. His works are held by the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, the Southern Plains Indian Museum in Anadarko, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, and numerous private collections.
