Andy Warhol Series

The Cowboys and Indians portfolio of ten prints features well-known figures: John Wayne and Teddy Roosevelt - -who are not so much "cowboys" as American heroes, as well as less familiar images of Native Americans. Geronimo faces the viewer with a mixture of rage, strength, and fear; while the anonymous Mother and Child reveals a quiet resilience in the face of encroaching authority. In Warhol's portfolio, Native Americans and their artifacts are shown as fragile, in danger of being forgotten, or in the case of Indian Head Nickel, of being perpetually stereotyped. Cowboys and Indians forces us to question our notions of the "hero" and "heroine" of the American West and to ponder their relationship to the voiceless heroes of our Native American past.
