EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "All the old men and the young men. . . Played till midnight, played till morning" we are transported to a scene of intense camaraderie and competition. Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem, The Song of Hiawatha, this lithograph beautifully captures a moment in time where age and youth unite through the universal language of play. The image depicts a group of Native American men engrossed in an all-night gambling session. Their faces reflect determination, excitement, and perhaps even a hint of mischief. As they gather around the table illuminated by flickering candlelight, their spirits seem to rise with each roll of the dice or turn of the card. Remington's masterful interpretation brings life to Longfellow's words as we witness Pau-Puk-Keewis - one of Hiawatha's companions - engaging in this timeless tradition. Through his skilled engraving technique, every detail is meticulously captured: from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the expressions etched upon their weathered faces. This evocative print not only celebrates Native American culture but also serves as a reminder that regardless of age or background, games have always been an integral part of human existence. It invites us to ponder our own experiences with competition and revelry while appreciating how art can immortalize these moments for generations to come.
