The first posthumous survey of Ojibwe artist Jim Denomie’s
paintings, which invite further conversation about American
history, memory, and place  A prolific artist, Jim Denomie
(La Courte Oreilles Band, Ojibwe, 1955–2022) did not begin his
art career until the age of 35. Over the course of three decades,
his award-winning work has been featured in national and
international exhibitions and found in notable private and public
collections. The Lyrical Artwork of Jim Denomie explores themes in
the artist’s work, such as the legacies of colonization,
reconsideration of American history, and what he saw as the
absurdity of our current zeitgeist. His paintings are satirical and
surreal, displaying a vibrant palette, along with dark humor and
pointed references to historical and contemporary issues and
injustices. Â Denomie drew upon lived experiences, pop
culture, Ojibwe beliefs and traditions, and American history to
tell stories with universal lessons. Alongside his satirical,
history paintings, Denomie created a deeply personal body of work
that depicts his spirituality, memories, and relationship to place.
 In addition to its incisive essays, the book includes
forewords by Denomie’s friend and gallerist, Todd Bockley, and
the artist’s wife, the author Diane Wilson, as well as a
transcript of one of his final interviews. In its totality, this
catalogue begins the conversation around the lasting impact of
Denomie’s work and life.  Distributed for the Minneapolis
