Invocation to the Sun, 1922 - A Captivating Glimpse into Native American Rituals
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures a powerful moment in time - an "Invocation to the Sun" performed by Native American Indians in 1922. Painted with watercolors on paper by Charles Marion Russell, this artwork showcases his deep appreciation for the Wild West and its rich cultural heritage. In this scene, we witness a group of warriors dressed in traditional costumes mounted on majestic horses. With heads bowed and hands raised towards the sky, they engage in a sacred ceremony invoking the blessings of the sun. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring their dedication and reverence to life. Russell's mastery lies not only in capturing their physical appearance but also conveying their spiritual connection with nature. The horseback riders symbolize strength and unity within their tribe as they participate in this ancient ritual passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back to North America's past when such ceremonies were an integral part of tribal life. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on prayer, worship, and sacrifice within these communities. Through "Invocation to the Sun". Russell invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Native American culture and our shared human desire for connection with something greater than ourselves. This artwork is not just a visual feast; it is an invitation to explore our own beliefs and rituals while honoring those who came before us.
