The grass here refers to Myrick famously stating, “So far as I am concerned, if they are hungry let them eat grass or their own dung.” This work is on view through January 19 in Sixties Surreal. — Credits on YouTube | Whitney Museum of American Art | Facebook

T.C Cannon (Kiowa/Caddo, 1946 - 1978) was heavily influenced by the music of Bob Dylan. After returning from the Vietnam War, Cannon would title paintings after Dylan songs and work his lyrics into drawings. Up until his death in 1978, T.C. Cannon would do portraits of the musician and was known to use the same model of guitar that Dylan famously played alongside Johnny Cash. #tccannon #bobdylan #nativeamericanart #marksublette #medicinemangallery | Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery
