T.C. Cannon
A Singular American Voice
Reconsidered

TULSA, OKLA. — It is 40 years since T.C. Cannon (1946–1978) died, age 31, in a
car accident south of Santa Fe. A singular voice and lasting influence, Cannon, an in-
novator who bridged cultures, is this year being honored by two major exhibitions and
a thoughtful new book published by the Heard Museum in association with Museum
of New Mexico Press.

A show organized by the Peabody Essex Museum continues at Tulsa’s Gilcrease
Museum through October 7. The first major traveling display of the artist’s work since
1990, “T.C. Cannon: At The Edge of America” arrays nearly 90 works, including 30
major paintings, works on paper, poetry and musical recordings.

Deeply personal yet undeniably political, Cannon’s artwork channeled his cultural
heritage, experience as a Vietnam War veteran and the turbulent social and political
climate that defined the 1960s and 1970s. Amid ongoing conversations about iden-
tity, social justice, land rights and cultural appropriation, Cannon’s work continues to
engage audiences.

“Cannon’s artworks hold a stunning energy…His large-scale paintings and expres-
sive music show American history and pop culture through a Native American lens,
tackling complex issues with a blend of raw emotion and humor,” says Gilcrease cura-
tor Laura Fry,

Tommy Wayne (T.C.) Cannon grew up in a rural farming community in south-
eastern Oklahoma, raised by his Kiowa father and Caddo mother. He fused visual
elements from his Native American worldview with European and American artistic
influences.
