00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:11.920 align:middle line:84%
Untutored, brilliant Native
artists of hide paintings,

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:18.190 align:middle line:84%
[INADUDIBLE] and also those
brilliant ledger art paintings.

00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:24.670 align:middle line:84%
First in Fort Marion, Florida,
where so many distinguished

00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:27.220 align:middle line:84%
native political
resistance groups were

00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:31.090 align:middle line:84%
sent as political
prisoners were introduced

00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:36.040 align:middle line:84%
to colored pencils, and
government ledger books,

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:39.460 align:middle line:90%
and to draw.

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:43.460 align:middle line:84%
You see in all those
drawings of visionary art,

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:49.060 align:middle line:84%
not a representation of
culture, of visionary art.

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:52.120 align:middle line:84%
The horses are
soaring, and there

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:57.220 align:middle line:84%
are multiple colors, what kind
of representation is that?

00:00:57.220 --> 00:01:00.400 align:middle line:90%
A visionary representation.

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:03.710 align:middle line:84%
Of course, they become
very valuable now.

00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:09.550 align:middle line:84%
And at the same time, these
untutored visionary artists

00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:15.970 align:middle line:84%
were drawing multiple colored
horses soaring in space,

00:01:15.970 --> 00:01:19.660 align:middle line:84%
Marc Chagall was
painting and drawing

00:01:19.660 --> 00:01:23.470 align:middle line:84%
figures soaring in space
at about the same time.

00:01:23.470 --> 00:01:29.020 align:middle line:84%
He did it in Vitebsk on the
Pale of Settlement in Russia.

00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:32.080 align:middle line:84%
The political prisoners
at Fort Marion

00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:37.720 align:middle line:84%
did it to sell to
tourists on the weekend.

00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:41.620 align:middle line:84%
Franz Marc a German
painter, I thought at first,

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:46.510 align:middle line:84%
he might have been inspired
by Native visionary painters

00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:48.850 align:middle line:84%
because their work
was shown in Paris

00:01:48.850 --> 00:01:52.390 align:middle line:84%
in the early part of
the 1900s, not so.

00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:55.300 align:middle line:84%
Marc Chagall said he
was inspired by Franz--

00:01:55.300 --> 00:02:01.870 align:middle line:84%
I'm sorry, Franz Marc, who
was inspired by Marc Chagall.

00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:05.080 align:middle line:84%
Marc Chagall was untutored,
this was a visionary art.

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:08.440 align:middle line:84%
And throughout his life,
he painted by vision,

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:12.010 align:middle line:90%
not by representation.

00:02:12.010 --> 00:02:15.610 align:middle line:84%
This painting comes out
of the "Blue horses."

00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:19.540 align:middle line:84%
I'm sorry, this
painting, this poem.

00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:23.470 align:middle line:84%
Painted horses, prison
riders by morning,

00:02:23.470 --> 00:02:27.970 align:middle line:84%
blue in the canyon's green
and brown, Western posts

00:02:27.970 --> 00:02:32.260 align:middle line:90%
forever mounted in ledger art.

00:02:32.260 --> 00:02:36.100 align:middle line:90%
Migrant traders wait in silence.

00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:39.850 align:middle line:90%
Common wares, tin and China.

00:02:39.850 --> 00:02:47.530 align:middle line:84%
By manners parasols and shoots,
and by resistance, the colors

00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:49.570 align:middle line:90%
fade.

00:02:49.570 --> 00:02:55.210 align:middle line:84%
Prison riders crowned by
museums, all the world curators

00:02:55.210 --> 00:03:02.500 align:middle line:84%
envy the race, primitive
art and Native liberty.

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:06.460 align:middle line:84%
Ledger mounts blue
horses ride again

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:16.180 align:middle line:84%
with Franz Marc, Chagall,
Kandinsky, and Quick-to-See,

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:18.960 align:middle line:90%
Jaune Quick-to-See.

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.000 align:middle line:90%
