FYI
Per NEWSOK:
The dramatic and colorful art of Darwin-Cabaniss Tsoodle will be the signature artwork at the 39th annual United Tribes International Powwow from Sept. 4-7 in Bismarck, N.D.
Darwin Tsoodle is a Kiowa-Kiowa Apache artist from Anadarko. His painting, "Medicine Journey,” was chosen as the powwow poster and will be featured on other commemorative items. The original piece of art is part of the United Tribes Technical College's collection of American Indian art.
"Medicine Journey” shows a chief inside a tepee. He's praying, singing and meditating. A buffalo and bird signify the good he foresees in the future. Red and blue blankets are symbols of the Native American Peyote Church.
Tsoodle often attends powwows and finds them intriguing social events. To attend a powwow is to be enchanted by the vibrant sights and sounds of traditional Indian culture, he said.
When Tsoodle was about 8 years old, growing up in Fort Cobb, he was helping support his grandparents who were raising him.
"We had a pretty tough time then, and my grandmother sold my art to tribal members. She wanted me to be an artist, and painting just came naturally to me,” Tsoodle said. "I participated in all the art contests I could and, when I was about 11, I won the national Christmas Seals stamp competition. I could have had a trip to Washington, D.C., but I gave it to a little African-American girl, who was also in the competition.”
He says: "I've always painted. But when I went to the American Indian Exposition here in Anadarko, I saw the work of Rance Hood, Stephen Mopope and Doc Tate Nevaquaya. I knew I wanted to paint just like those guys. They were painting what I love: traditional Oklahoma Indian art.”
Tsoodle, 44, studied traditional Indian art at Bacone College in Muskogee, working under Richard West, a well-known and highly respected instructor of traditional Indian painting.
"He thought I had potential, and I appreciated his input about my techniques,” Tsoodle said.
West was an early inspiration to Tsoodle.
At the Colorado School of Art, Tsoodle studied anatomy, color theory, drawing perspective, contour, bone structure and how to draw human figures running, sitting and reaching.
"I didn't graduate from there because I wasn't interested in commercial art, but it did refine my skills,” he says. "I just couldn't see designing logos. I wanted to be in fine art.”
When he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, N.M., the school was in a transition period, and his traditional art was often shunned indirectly.
"I had to defend it,” Tsoodle remembers.
Still, several instructors were helpful to him, giving him 24-hour access to the arts and crafts studio. Now, he treasures his credentials from all three schools.
After graduation, he moved to Montana and was represented by a gallery in Billings and another in Jackson, Wyo. Locally, he is represented by Colonial Art Gallery, as well as the Bert Koch Gallery in Dallas.
Tsoodle has participated in shows at the Heard Museum in Phoenix; the Buffalo Bill Art Show in Cody, Wyo.; the Fall Arts Festival, Jackson, Wyo.; and the Custer Battlefield Days in Hardin, Mont. His work is featured in private collections throughout the world, especially Germany, England, the Netherlands and Japan.
His art is characterized by bright colors and time-honored Indian subject matter — traditional dancers, Indian maidens, Peyote church meetings and a variety of warrior subjects. The paintings convey stories of a time prior to the arrival of European settlers.
"I'm torn between painting the Peyote church meetings, because the truth of those meetings moves me, and the powerful warrior,” he said. "I loved the power theme when I was younger, so I draw the horses and warriors as strong and brave. I never feature guns in a painting.”
Within the next decade, Tsoodle hopes to be well established as an artist and refine his skills even more.
A divorce a few years ago slowed his art progress, but he says: "I'm getting back into it now and even doing sculpture. I'm also encouraging my son, Dar, 16, to paint. Mathias, 14, prefers playing the guitar — being a little rocker boy.”
Born in 1964, Tsoodle recalls when he was a boy, he wanted to be a war dancer.
"But my strict grandmother didn't approve and wouldn't allow it,” he said. "She pushed me toward art instead.”
He's grateful for that decision.
