Kent Monkman 'Reconciliation' Etching

This was purchased directly from the artist, Kent Monkman. 2018 Copper Plate Etching on Acid Free Paper Paper Size: 8.5” x 11” Plate Size: 4” x 5” Edition of 100 + 5 AP Reconciliation etching is hand signed and numbered by the artist. Monkman’s gender-bending time-traveller (his description) Miss Chief Eagle Testickle pops up in the past, present and future to jar viewers out of complacency. Picture the famous Robert Harris painting of the Fathers of Confederation. Monkman’s version features the same men in the same setting, but with a naked Miss Chief posing or perhaps holding forth in front of them. In this version, called ”The Daddies,” many of the august gentlemen are holding or eyeing booze, evoking the famous observation that “Confederation was floated through on champagne.”
