Blackbear Bosin (June 5, 1921 – August 9, 1980) was a self-taught Comanche/Kiowa sculptor, painter, and commercial artist. He is also known by his Kiowa name, Tsate Kongia, which means "black bear." Bosin gained notoriety for his surreal and dynamic variations on the traditional "flat" style painting of the Southern Plains Indians — adding depth, motion and drama to the genre, while emphasizing symbolism. His works have been modern icons of Native American art, and of his community (Wichita), county (Sedgwick County), state (Kansas) and region.
