Vanishing Frontier: Rookwood, Farny, and the American Indian
Cincinnati Art Museum
October 20, 2007 - January 20, 2008
The Cincinnati Art Museum is proud to bring you an exciting exhibition entitled The Vanishing Frontier: Rookwood, Farny, and the American Indian, which explores the art and history of Native Americans as depicted by Cincinnati's Rookwood Pottery Company and painter Henry Farny.
Stunning ceramic portraits from the James J. Gardner Collection of Rookwood and exquisite Farny opaque watercolors from the Art Museum's holdings as well as private collections offer a compelling view of the American Indian during the final days of the frontier.
You have an opportunity to journey back in time when Americans were feeling the sentiment of loss for the frontier, and the Native American way of life was coming to an end.
Also on view are American Indian artifacts from the Art Museum's famous collection and the original photographic images that inspired the Rookwood ceramics.
