dbo:abstract
  • Ledger Art ist die Bezeichnung für eine grafische Kunstrichtung von Prärie-Indianern, etwa zwischen 1865 und 1935. Es sind Zeichnungen und Malereien auf Papier mit Bleistift, Tinte, Buntstift oder Kreide, selten mit Wasserfarben koloriert. Der Name leitet sich von der englischen Bezeichnung für Konto-Bücher, den ledger books, ab. Für die Prärie-Indianer des 19. Jahrhunderts waren die Kontobücher der angloamerikanischen Siedler und der US-Army die erste und wichtigste Papierquelle. Es gibt indianische Künstler, die diese Kunstrichtung bis zum heutigen Tag pflegen. (de)
  • Ledger art is a term for predominantly Plains Indian, but also from the Plateau and Great Basin, narrative drawing or painting on paper or cloth. Ledger art flourished primarily from the 1860s to the 1920s. A revival of ledger art began in the 1960s and 1970s. The term comes from the accounting ledger books that were a common source of paper for Plains Indians during the late 19th century. Battle exploits were the most frequently represented themes in ledger art. Many ledger artists documented the rapidly changing environment by portraying new technologies such as trains, as well as encroaching European Americans and American soldiers. Other themes such as religious practices, hunting, and courtship were also subjects. Many ledger artists worked together with ethnologists, to document cultural information such as shield and tipi designs, winter counts, dances and regalia. (en)
