Hopi Indian Reservation

— Annual Prescott Indian Art Market

The market features distinctive jewelry, exquisite ceramics, sculpture, paintings, and hand-woven baskets and blankets. This festival has grown in reputation and quality to become one of the Southwest’s premier Indian Art Markets. An all-Indian artist jury selects participating artists who produce traditional and contemporary artwork.  This year’s award-winning featured artist and illustrator is Michelle Tsosie Sisneros, of the Santa Clara Pueblo. In addition to her beautiful acrylic on paper abstract paintings, her works have been featured in a book and greeting cards. In describing her paintings, Michelle exclaims, “I paint from my soul. The images I paint are from the people who touch my life in a profound way and the Mother Earth I live on. I paint in an abstract form because that is how I see the Mother Earth”.  She adds, “I started writing about each painting I create as I feel there is a message to my work.”  She also works with the glitter of micaceous clay pottery. “The clay has completed my search in touching and feeling the Mother Earth. I can now paint her Earth and feel her body in my life as an artist.” In addition to her fascinating paintings, Michelle’s abstract works can be found on ceramic tiles and note cards. She illustrated the children’s book, Kokopelli’s Gift, by Kathleen Bryant. Michelle’s latest endeavors include silver smithing and jewelry making.  She is the recipient of many awards and honors, including a Southwest Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) Fellowship. In her quest to become a full time artist, Michelle pursued a wide variety of educational and work experiences.   She attended Northern New Mexico Community College in Espanola, New Mexico. After graduating from the Federal Law Enforcement Academy in Artesia, New. Mexico., Michelle worked in law enforcement for five years at the Santa Clara Pueblo. She went on to work in Social Service with the Eight Northern Indian Pueblo Consortium (ENIPC) Peacekeepers, in the San Juan Pueblo. Michelle is now a full time artist.

Victor Fleming - The Mollycoddle (1920)-Cinema of the World

The Mollycoddle, Douglas Fairbanks's third film for United Artists (which he cofounded in 1919 with Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith) is also one of Fairbanks's last films with a contemporary setting, before he turned full-time to the production of costume subjects during the 1920s. In the film, he plays a fifth-generation American who lives in Europe and is so far removed from the land of his forefathers that he has become comically emasculated. On a lark, he is shanghaied by a trio of young Americans onto a yacht headed for the U.S., only to discover that the captain is a jewel smuggler on his way to the American Southwest. The silly plot serves merely as a hook on which to hang some of Fairbanks's most inventive visual gags as well as a means of incorporating dramatic footage from the Navajo County Hopi Indian Reservation. Logical narratives were never Fairbanks's strong suit, and in The Mollycoddle he demonstrated once again that his breathtaking physical prowess and undaunted optimism could overcome any obstacles. --Still Moving: The Film and Media Collections of the Museum of Modern Art by Steven Higgins [New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 2006, p. 91] The Mollycoddle. 1920. USA. Directed by Victor Fleming. Screenplay by Tom Geraghty and Douglas Fairbanks. Cine- matography by William McGann and Harry Thorpe. With Fairbanks, Ruth Renick, and Wallace Beery. Fairbanks revives his dual persona of pampered dandy and two-fisted Westerner in this satire directed by Fleming, which travels, like a Hitchcock comic thriller, from glamorous Monte Carlo to a yacht to the wilds of an Indian reservation in Arizona. As ingenious as a Tom Mix landscape Western, in which the eager lawman surmounts every rocky challenge, The Mollycoddle finds Fairbanks taking on a mountainside, cliffs, river, and waterfall with his usual cocky elan, as he delights in his transformation from bored sophisticate to superhero. --MOMA Film and Video Exhibition catalog (2000), p20] The Mollycoddle, Douglas Fairbanks's third film for United Artists (which he cofounded in 1919 with Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D.
