The nation's premier private collection of Rookwood art pottery
featuring American Indian portraiture is on display at the
Cincinnati Art Museum from October 2007 to January 2008. "Rookwood
and the American Indian: Masterpieces of American Art Pottery from
the James J. Gardner Collection" is a remarkable exhibition
catalogue that will be of interest well beyond the exhibition
because of its unique subject matter. Fifty-two pieces produced by
the Rookwood Pottery Company are showcased, many accompanied by
black-and-white photographs of the American Indians portrayed by
the ceramic artist. In addition, the catalogue includes a brief
biography of each artist as well as curators' comments about the
Rookwood pottery and the Indian apparel seen in the portraits.
The catalogue also presents two essays. The first, "Enduring
Encounters: Cincinnatians and American Indians to 1900," by
ethnologist and co-curator Susan Labry Meyn, describes American
Indian activities in Cincinnati from the time of the first settlers
to 1900 and relates these events to national policy, such as the
1830 Indian Removal Act. Rookwood and the American Indian, by art
historian Anita J. Ellis, concentrates on Rookwood's fascination
with the American Indian and the economic implications of producing
that line.
Rookwood and the American Indian blends anthropology with art
history to reveal the relationships between the white settlers and
the Native Americans in general, between Cincinnati and the
American Indian in particular, and ultimately between Rookwood
artists and their Indian friends.
