AMES VAN WART. Indian Vase

Indian Vase. Artist: Ames Van Wart (American, New York 1841-1927 Paris, France). Dimensions: 46 1/2 x 24 x 16 in., 429lb. (118.1 x 61 x 40.6 cm, 194.6kg). Date: 1876. While living in London, Van Wart modeled this commanding amphora-shaped sculpture, a departure from his usual portrait busts. Its motifs explicitly acknowledge the displacement of American Indians caused by Euro-American settlement of the American West. One of the American Indians sitting on the rim looks proudly and confidently into the future, while the other, dejected, represents his diminished race. The main frieze recounts the story of a buffalo hunt, from the departure of the hunter with his weapons to his successful return. The bands of maple and tobacco leaves underscore the American symbolism.
