Churchill Art Piece Called Into Question

by CBS4 News reporter Raj Chohan

Feb 24, 2005 8:03 pm US/Mountain BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) Boulder County resident Duke Prentup has been a fan of native American art for as long as he can remember. That love of art took him to the home of Ward Churchill in the early 1980's, where Prentup bought several pieces of Churchill's art, including a serigraph titled "Winter Attack."

"I have enjoyed them ever since immensely, they're obviously up inside my house," Prentup said.

Last month came a stunning revelation, though, as as Prentup flipped through a 1972 book called The Mystic Warriors of the Plains written and illustrated by the late artist Thomas E. Mails. He found a sketch that was strikingly similar to the Churchill piece.

We need to get word to Ryan Mails that his dads work ala Churchill is on Ebay!

I was thinking the same thing because eBay has strict rules against Copyright infringement. But the copyright owner has to complain to eBay.

A cock-eyed optimist?

Oh no. I'm just a simple country boy who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.

Wow! Look at all those left-handed indians!

A. Right handedness is a Colonialist trait, so the Indians Native Americans must be portrayed in opposition.

B. He's a Leftist, so had to artistically portray the metaphor.

C. He wasn't smart enough to realize that by reversing the image, he was also reversing the handedness.

D. Both B & C

Berry became chancellor of the University of Colorado

MFB was hired by Carter, fired by Reagan and re-hired by Clinton?!
Big surprise, the left supports traitors and fakers.

I didn't do anything, really, except post the link. (And find the Ebay auction, which is just icing.) The real credit goes to News4 and Raj, whom I have no connection with whatsoever. Just happened to read it.

I wonder who wrote them for her? Hillery's writer?

Here's a link to another Ward Churchill item on Ebay . The talent level between the two works is striking. This one looks more like one a high school art student might produce. Notice the "retail value"!

This brings to mind the old axiom..."Those who can, do. Those who can't (all together, now) - teach!"

So now what about the next obvious conundrum - the fact that he can't even teach effectively?!

Ow! Ow! My brain is cramping...can't...see, can't breathe...

Some of you gurus out there can probably figure out in 2 seconds just how it was done.

On an IBM Selectric?
