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.

the National Archives photo collection. See, that art knowledge of yours is handy, LOL. I've spent hours Googling random "indian photo" type phrases, and never thought of that.
It's pretty obvious we will eventually track down the source images, Churchill's M.O. is pretty clear. But "art" is so subjective, he'll just say what he's done is like Warhol re-interpreting Marilyn Monroe photos and Campbell's Soup cans. Isn't the real question we need to dig into whether he represented these pieces when he sold them AS such interpretations, or as ORIGINAL works of art? What is the usual way someone would be expected to give credit on such stuff?

whether he represented these pieces when he sold them AS such interpretations Knowing what we know about him, I would doubt it. Anyway, his work is not an interpretation, but more like a reproduction.

I need to leave for a good chunk of the day. I will be home in the afternoon and do some more searching.

maybe he copied some of her works, too? The question is, who did Mary Francis Berry copy her works from?
Her public utterances make it very, very unlikely that she earned a law degree from Michigan, and her PhD is very likely phony.
To: Fizzie
Bump for his demise watch.
To: Fizzie
His heritage seems to be a fraud.
His military accomplishments seem to be a fraud.
Some of his writings seem to be fraudulant or plagiarized.
His educational credentials seem questionable.
Now, his artwork is questionable.

Looks like he used an overhead projector. Copied it onto a transparency and then reversed it and copied it onto his canvas.....A real artist! NOT

I'm still laughing, too, Howlin.

Was Asst. Secretary of HEW a part-time job? Because in looking around to verify this, I'm finding that Berry was in that role under Carter from 77-80. But 76-77 would seem to be an awfully short time to be chancellor of CU Boulder.
