Ghost Dance 2003 Calendar [Calendar]

J. D. Challenger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2002

Description: In the late 1800s, the Ghost Dance religion promised hope and resurrection for the future at a time when Native American nations across America faced destruction. Misunderstood by authorities, the Ghost Dance sparked the savage attack on Sioux men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in 1890. In his paintings, JD Challenger revives the spirit in Ghost Dance, bringing new life to warrior faces and renewing the bonds of strength and dignity linking Native Americans to their history. Notes: This calendar will be marketed as an "Archive Edition, " printed on high-quality uncoated paper with pages suitable for framing. All paintings in this year's calendar are NEW and have not been seen by the public before now. JD Challenger is highly regarded within the Native American community. He paints the story of a people rich in heritage and traditions; stories sometimes poignant, often angry ... but always powerful and demanding to be told. Each portrait speaks its own truth. Challenger is the vessel that paints the truth. JD Challenger's paintings and sculptures are collected by major institutions and are the subject of the book GHOSTDANCING: Sacred Medicine and the art of JD Challenger, written by Edwin Daniels.

I love the art of J.D. Challenger. I have a room in my house decorated in a Santa Fe Indian Motif, using sunset colors of red, orange, dark blue, purples. I order a GHOST DANCE calendar every year because his dynamic pictures and vibrant colors blend perfectly with the colors in the room. I couldn't do without it!

I called the artist directly and it was going to be $25.00 to pay for calendar and shipping. They told me to try Amazon and I got the calendar and shipping for $6.37. Now is that a deal!!!
