Bringing together the large-scale works that comprise Kent Monkman's suite of paintings entitled The Four Continents, a reworking of Tiepolo's Apollo and the Four Continents, this book explores the creation of these contemporary studies that address the original Eurocentric fantasies of the other.
The Four Continents presents in full, with gatefolds, the large- scale works that comprise Kent Monkman's suite of paintings entitled The Four Continents, a reworking of Tiepolo's Apollo and the Four Continents.Monkman's works examine the way Indigenous American and Canadian history has been presented by nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists. He constructs new stories through images that take into account the missing narratives and perspectives of Aboriginal peoples; the result is a series of tragicomic scenarios that are mythical, graphic, satirical and inherently anti-colonialist. Many feature strong queer or gay male imagery, which have always been a part of Aboriginal culture due to 'two-spirit' Indigenous sexualities, yet have rarely been acknowledged as such.Kent Monkman is a Canadian artist of Cree ancestry who works with a variety of mediums, including painting, film/ video, performance and installation. He has had exhibitions at numerous major museums worldwide, including Witte de With, Rotterdam; The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto; and MASS MoCA, Massachusetts, USA.Following The Four Continents, a major monographic overview of Monkman's work will be published by Black Dog Publishing in 2018, Kent Monkman: Shame and Prejudice, a Story of Resilience
