The Wild West of Kent Monkman


There was an interesting article in Saturday's Calgary Herald by Nancy Tousley about the Kent Monkman exhibition at Glenbow Museum commenting on his take on the West.

Monkman's exhibition is part of Exposure 2010 with photographs of his alter ego Miss Chief included.

Tousley says about the photos, "A small side gallery contains a suite of five brilliant photographs, Miss Chief: The Emergence of a Legend (2006), made to look like old tintypes, that show her in evolutionary roles as a performer in Wild West shows, vaudeville and silent movies."
