ARTIST: RAYMOND GID (1905-2000) SIZE: 39 1/4 x 58 5/8 in./99.7 x 149 cm PRINTER: Imp. Bedos & Cie, Paris DESCRIPTION: Until the 1950s the theatrical presentation of Indian dance was limited to circuses, Wild West shows, and Western movies. Two white people—Reginald and Gladys Laubin—who had lived with Plains Indians were instrumental in bringing Indian dance to the stage as an art form, and one of great subtlety and meaning. Their Crow troupe toured the world. For their engagement in Paris they are billed as the “Redskins Ballet—American Indian Dance Pow Wow.” Gid supplies a dramatically stark image with just a red and white headdress, a tomahawk, and a squiggle of paint for a leg.
