Churchill Art Piece Called Into Question

by CBS4 News reporter Raj Chohan

Feb 24, 2005 8:03 pm US/Mountain BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) Boulder County resident Duke Prentup has been a fan of native American art for as long as he can remember. That love of art took him to the home of Ward Churchill in the early 1980's, where Prentup bought several pieces of Churchill's art, including a serigraph titled "Winter Attack."

"I have enjoyed them ever since immensely, they're obviously up inside my house," Prentup said.

Last month came a stunning revelation, though, as as Prentup flipped through a 1972 book called The Mystic Warriors of the Plains written and illustrated by the late artist Thomas E. Mails. He found a sketch that was strikingly similar to the Churchill piece.

to another Ward Churchill item on Ebay

I wonder who he stole that from. Or maybe his dog painted it and he stole it from the dog?

prosthetic sexual organ.

You mean he has fake orgasms?!?

[BigSkyFreeper]

It won't be long now; he's gonna blow.

I was listening to Mike Rosen's local talk show on KOA Denver, before he guest hosted Rush's program today, and he was revealing alot of Churchill that I hadn't heard before from the MSM, let alone H&C or O'Reilly.

Only if a beeber is included (with a set of batteries).

Not only the talent level, but the style, Sgt_Schultze.

You are kind when you say high school level with regard to talent. Thanks for the link. One more chink in the armor, I think.

Here's another one:

Here's another auction for this piece...

[Sgt_Schultze]

I wonder who originally drew that picture.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Looks like Tinky-Winky's purse to me.

[Howlin]

LOL.....me, too!

[ajolympian2004]

Wow... I wonder if that is Chief Niwot from the Boulder area from way back when???

[Howlin]

I sent all this to Craig Silverman!

[Drango]

Now comes the hard part....From which original artist did he copy these from???? We need an art history major here. LOL

[ajolympian2004]

Historic Niwot, Colorado, loved for its village-like charm, was named after Southern Arapahoe Indian, Chief Niwot who was left handed. Niwot means left handed in Arapahoe language. Chief Niwot was well known for his amicable relationship with the people who settled this area. Niwot is located in unincorporated Boulder County.

And it looks like the Churchill print from the News 4 story was done left-handed... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...???

[JennysCool]

Definitely a son of a something. But native?

[AmericanArchConservative]

"I am sorry Mr. Churchill, but this artistic license is only valid in the state of Delusion - we have no reciprocity agreement with them. Besides, it's expired. I'm afraid I have to place you under arrest...

(there are so many places I want to go with this little scenario...)

A.A.C.

[Howlin]

Well, I'm sure there's one here; we've got everything else!
