ECOLE ROMANTIQUE DU XIXe SIÈCLE Attribué à R. Todd STILSON, 1862-1923, sans élément le confirmant. The song of Hiawatha Huile sur toile Signée en bas à droite Hauteur : 117 Largeur : 89,50 cm Provenance : Collection Roger Prigent; célèbre photographe de mode pour Vogue et Harper Bazar, ami d'Andy Warhol avec lequel il chinait ses tableaux indiens. Sa vente, Paris, Sotheby's, 26 avril 2006, n°246 Commentaire : Au dos fragment manuscrit du poème d'Henry Wadsworth Longfellow intitulé ‘The song of Hiawatha' écrit en 1855 : ‘In his arms he bore the maiden; Light he thought her as a feather, As the plume upon his head-gear; Cleared the tangled pathway for her, Bent aside the swaying branches, Made at night a lodge of branches, And a bed with boughs of hemlock, And a fire before the doorway With the dry cones of the pine-tree.' Le poète Henry Wadsworth Longfellow emprunta le nom de son héroïne à une chute d'eau des Teton Sioux qui veut dire « Laughing Water ». La même scène a inspiré au sculpteur norvégien Jacob Fjelde (1859-1896) un bronze exposé dans le Minneapolis Park. " Intellectual curiosity probed Indian mythology, legend, and folk history, and a scholarly treatise accidentally transferred the name of the great Iroquois political reformer Hiawatha to the story of the Ojibwa demigod Manabozho, and the accident was sealed in marble meter for the prosperity in Longfellow's poem 'would I have been as deathless under its right name of Manabozho ?). " William Brandon, The American Heritage Book of the Indians, New York, American Heritage, 1960, introduction du président John F. Kennedy
