Rance Hood Interview - Comanche Artist
26/03/2007
Our featured guest on the premiere podcast of Native Narratives is Rance Hood, a mystical Comanche painter. Mr. Hood is one of the few Native American painters alive today deeply influenced by his traditional upbringing, and has a complete knowledge of their tribal culture and spirituality. Growing up in the home of his maternal grandparents, Rance was brought up speaking Comanche and was told traditional stories that eventually came to be the basis of his images. Starting to enjoy success in the 1960s, Rance Hood continues to paint his inspiring artwork today, depicting warriors on horseback riding through brilliantly colored landscapes and also his own spiritual visions. In this podcast, Rance gives us an inside look into his many different inspirations, ideology on color and storytelling, his painting origins, the significance of horses in the Comanche culture, and more. Please post any comments or questions you have while listening to our podcast as we want to hear from you.
