Bill Reid 907. spudboy - 1/24/2000 8:13:56 AM Sakonige:
I'm a great admirer of Reid's work, and have a couple of signed pieces from him. My favorite, probably, is "Raven and the First Men" up at Museum of Anthropology (you can view the piece by going here and scrolling down to the third image (the sculpture also adorns the cover of Doris Shadbolt's great new book on Reid).
Of course, I'm also fond of probably his least traditional piece, "Chief of the Undersea World," which greets visitors outside the Vancouver Aquarium:
 908. Uzmakk - 1/24/2000 8:52:53 AM Dusty, you are responsible for promotion and advertising, yes? I mean someone has to be. 909. ScottLoar - 1/24/2000 9:06:46 AM The Northwest Coast are, in my opinion, among the most artistically expressive of North American Indians and yet, the Huron did some amazing work, more expressive and talented than their immediate neighbors the Iroquois. I have seldom seen a finer body of work than that which the Huron have left us as their artistic legacy. 910. dusty - 1/24/2000 9:09:50 AM Uzmakk
Actually, no. I turned it over to whomever wants it. No one has stepped up. 911. Uzmakk - 1/24/2000 8:18:37 PM Hummmm. What is it that we are trying to accomplish? Getting our # of posters and readers up and maintaining our outstanding quality I imagine. I think I may be interested in the job. 912. Uzmakk - 1/24/2000 8:25:58 PM I will take advice and ideas from moties who have such to offer. 913. IrvingSnodgrass - 1/24/2000 8:36:32 PM Uzmakk:
It would be great if you could spearhead our promotion efforts. I have a number of ideas, most of which I've shared here at one time or another. Drop me a line and I'll give you what help I can. 914. Uzmakk - 1/24/2000 8:50:24 PM Irving:
Did you get my email of several days ago? 915. IrvingSnodgrass - 1/24/2000 9:00:58 PM Uzmakk:
I hadn't when I last checked the account (which I don't check every day), but it's there now... it seems to have taken several days to reach my account. At any rate, expect a reply very soon (with a better address to use). 916. sakonige - 1/25/2000 2:15:51 AM
spudboy, you are so fortunate to have some of Bill Reid's signed works. There is so much humor and expression incorporated into the graceful percision of his art.
ScottLoar, right now I agree with you that formline art styles of the Northwest coast are the most compelling, but then the artistic styles of the Southwest are stunning, too. It's very difficult to pick favorites. 917. Candide - 1/25/2000 6:01:41 AM Sakonige
I was side-tracked yesterday and forgot where to look for your Bill Reid post.
He is magnificent and completely new to me. He is immediately recognisable as a major event. I did, with my ignorant outsider's eye, perceive the traditional forms within his work.
It is always wonderful to discover something new that is first rate.
918. Uzmakk - 1/25/2000 6:05:03 AM Sakonige:
I also find #900 very striking. 921. wabbit - 1/27/2000 4:43:15 AM Testing
Mote Banner 922. CalGal - 1/27/2000 5:26:13 AM Nothing happened. 923. wabbit - 1/27/2000 5:29:18 AM Cal,
If you drag the link to your links bar (on IE), whenever you are surfing and see an annoying flashing banner ad, click the Mote Banner link on the link bar. It should replace the banner ad with our banner (albeit a warped version of our banner). 924. CalGal - 1/27/2000 5:33:33 AM What do you mean "drag the link", "links bar" and "flashing banner ad"? 925. sakonige - 1/27/2000 11:47:37 AM
wabbit, that is a nice twick! 926. Dusty - 1/27/2000 10:03:56 PM Hey. it works!
