Myths & Memories Highlights from the Walker Collection of Native Art
July 11 – October 17, 2010 | Works on Paper Gallery
by Christina Burke Curator of Native American & Non-Western Art In June 2009 I received an e-mail from a friend who is a gallery owner and appraiser of Native American art. He said he’d given my name to a man in Tucson, Arizona for whom he was appraising an estate of over 500 pieces of Native art. Much of the work made by artists from Arizona was donated to the Arizona State Museum in Tucson, but objects by artists from other states and Canada did not yet have a home. The executor had asked if the gallery owner had any suggestions of museums that might be interested in these paintings, prints, baskets and ceramics, and my friend immediately said, “Philbrook.” And so began a journey of nearly a year that included phone calls, e-mails, faxes, FedEx packages, and a trip to Tucson to evaluate and retrieve the Albert L. and Jauvanta M. Walker Collection. For many years the Walkers worked at Iowa State University; Albert was Professor and Chair of the English Department and Jauvanta, known as Jav, worked in the university’s Statistical Laboratory. They loved to travel, and especially enjoyed driving to the Southwest where they collected pottery, basketry, and paintings. Following Albert’s death in 1980, Jav continued her traveling and collecting, attending Indian art shows and scholarly conferences around the country. It was at such a conference in Berkeley, California that I first met Jav in October 1997. Throughout the next decade, we saw each other a couple times a year in Santa Fe, Phoenix, or wherever the next show, meeting or Native American Art happened to be.

July through September
The temporary exhibition, Myths and Memories: Highlights from the Walker Collection features several Woodlands style pieces which illustrate some ways in which contemporary Native artists depict images from their traditional myths. The show also has work from other culture areas done in a variety of styles, including realistic scenes based on artists’ memories of their own past. Over the years Jav amassed a collection of over 500 pieces, with particularly strengths in paintings and prints from

Canada and the Northern Plains, as well as the Southwest and Oklahoma. The two-dimensional art is of particular importance to Philbrook since the museum ceased systematic collection of Native paintings and prints after the last “Indian Annual” competition in 1979. Since then, acquisitions have been intermittent, and the addition of work created in the 1980s and after significantly enhance the collection. Of particular interest are pieces from an important movement begun in the 1960s known as the “Woodlands Style.” This style was originated by an Ojibwe (Anishabe) artist named Norval Morrisseau who was from Thunder Bay, in the northwest corner of Ontario, Canada on the banks of Lake Superior. The images depict human and animal characters from traditional Ojibwe legends and ceremonies and are sometimes called legend or medicine painting. Historically, such simple stylized images were chipped into stone and incised in birchbark scrolls; Morrisseau brought these traditions into the late 20th century by painting them on canvas and printing them on paper. The style is easily recognizable with its bold black outlines set off by areas of bright color.

Q&A through September 12, 2010 Helmerich Gallery The belief in life after death was central to Egyptian civilization over thousands of years, with death seen as an enemy that could be defeated through ritual and proper preparation. Through jewelry, statuary, funerary vessels and other objects, this exhibition explores how the ancient Egyptians sought to conquer death and create a rich afterlife.
with Discovery Channel Host Dr. Kara Cooney
For our 3rd Thursday event on August 19th we are excited to host Egyptologist and television personality, Dr. Kara Cooney. Dr. Cooney is a leading authority in this field and her Discovery Channel program, Out of Egypt, is a must see. In anticipation of her upcoming visit, we asked Dr. Cooney a few questions about her life and work.
Q. When did you first realize you

A. Slaves did not build the pyramids!
were interested in Egypt? What sparked this interest?
and my mother came back from a business trip to London with my dad. She went to the British Museum and brought back a number of books about the ancient world - about the Romans, Vikings, Medieval Europe, and a few about ancient Egypt. These books were all about the daily lives of ancient peoples - how they cooked their food, how they built their houses, and how they buried their dead. I especially remember one of the books that had dozens of pictures of unwrapped mummies and coffins, and I thought that was pretty amazing. But I don’t know what the real spark of interest was. Long story short, I have always been interested in cultures that are long dead. I want to know what they were really like. I still love the ancient Romans and Vikings, but Egypt won.
Name one thing about ancient Egypt that everyone should know, but hardly anybody does.
And Egyptian culture was not built by slave labor. The pyramids were built by draft labor, which pulled Egyptian peasants from their lands into service for the king. It was the same situation for temples like Karnak or Luxor in ancient Thebes. I think most people think that Egypt is largely the product of foreign slaves, like ancient Rome was. But in reality, ancient Egypt was able to support such a high population that it was able to exploit its own people to great effect. Unlike the Persians, Macedonians, or Romans, they didn’t need to built a massive empire that built wealth on the backs of slaves. They had more than enough people in their own land who needed work so badly they were willing to work for daily bread.

cartouche |kär'too sh|: an oblong tablet enclosing a group of Egyptian hieroglyphs, typically representing the name and title of a monarch.
The custom of writing the Pharaoh’s name inside the Cartouche represented his rule over the universe. But now you don’t have to be a Pharaoh to have your own personalized Cartouche. Each piece is hand carved and crafted to order by skilled artisans in Old Cairo Egypt. Available in 18K gold or sterling silver.
