Means, who was from the Oglala Lakota people, became widely known for his leadership during the occupation of the South Dakota town of Wounded Knee by the American Indian Movement in 1973. The occupation was in protest against the alleged corruption of the local government as well as their mistreatment of American Indians. The site was symbolic, as Wounded Knee was at the centre of the 1890 massacre of the Sioux by the U.S. Army. The siege between the activists and federal law enforcement lasted 71 days, and was covered widely in the media. In the 1970s, Warhol made many portraits of celebrities and people that he admired across the political and cultural spectrum. Means appealed to Warhol as a figure who sat at the intersection of activism, celebrity and popular culture. The representation of American Indians was a common, and also controversial, subject in Hollywood movies. Warhol\u0026rsquo;s \u0026lsquo;Pop\u0026rsquo; treatment of Means, in traditional dress, reflects how American Indians are part of the distinct American cultural iconography. Ace Gallery in Los Angeles, who first exhibited this series of painting in 1977, contributed $5,000 to\u0026nbsp;the American Indian Movement in exchange for Means\u0026rsquo; participation.

Means, een lid van het Oglala Lakota-volk, werd in 1973 bekend door zijn leiderschap tijdens de bezetting van de stad Wounded Knee in South Dakota door de American Indian Movement. Het was een protest tegen de vermeende corruptie van de lokale overheid en tegen de manier waarop die indianen (of zoals sommigen verkiezen: native Americans, inheemse Amerikanen) behandelde. De locatie was symbolisch, aangezien Wounded Knee zich exact daar bevindt waar het Amerikaanse leger in 1890 een bloedbad aanrichtte tegen de Sioux. De activisten bezetten de stad gedurende 71 dagen, zich verwerend tegen een belegering van federale politie en FBI, en de actie werd breed uitgemeten in de media. In de jaren 1970 maakte Warhol veel portretten van beroemdheden en mensen die hij bewonderde, over het hele politieke en culturele spectrum. Means sprak Warhol aan in de hoedanigheid van figuur op het kruispunt van activisme, celebrity en populaire cultuur. De representatie van indianen, bijvoorbeeld in Hollywood-films, was algemeen verspreid maar ook controversieel en Warhols popart-versie van Means in traditionele kleding laat zien hoe indianen deel uitmaken van een aparte Amerikaanse culturele iconografie. De Ace Gallery in Los Angeles, die deze reeks in 1977 voor het eerst toonde, droeg $5.000 bij aan de American Indian Movement in ruil voor Means\u0026#39; participatie. Means werd decennia later opnieuw bekend met zijn rol als Chingachgook in Michael Manns \u003cem\u003eThe Last of the Mohicans\u003c/em\u003e, die in 1992 een Oscar won.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe American Indian (Russell Means)\u003c/em\u003e est une peinture s\u0026eacute;rigraphi\u0026eacute;e d\u0026#39;Andy Warhol faisant partie d\u0026#39;une s\u0026eacute;rie de dix-huit qu\u0026#39;il produisit en 1976 et qui repr\u0026eacute;sentaient l\u0026#39;activiste et acteur am\u0026eacute;rindien Russel Means. Means, qui appartenait au peuple Oglala Lakota, devint largement connu pour ses qualit\u0026eacute;s de meneur pendant l\u0026#39;occupation de la ville de Wounded Knee dans le Dakota du Sud par l\u0026#39;American Indian Movement en 1973. L\u0026#39;occupation avait pour but de protester contre la corruption pr\u0026eacute;sum\u0026eacute;e du gouvernement local ainsi que contre les mauvais traitements inflig\u0026eacute;s aux Indiens d\u0026#39;Am\u0026eacute;rique.

Means fit appel \u0026agrave; Warhol en tant que personnalit\u0026eacute; \u0026agrave; l\u0026#39;intersection de l\u0026#39;activisme, de la c\u0026eacute;l\u0026eacute;brit\u0026eacute; et de la culture populaire. La repr\u0026eacute;sentation des Indiens d\u0026#39;Am\u0026eacute;rique \u0026eacute;tait un sujet courant, et \u0026eacute;galement controvers\u0026eacute;, dans les films hollywoodiens. Le traitement \u0026laquo; Pop \u0026raquo; de Warhol de Means, en costume traditionnel, refl\u0026egrave;te la fa\u0026ccedil;on dont les Indiens d\u0026#39;Am\u0026eacute;rique font partie de l\u0026#39;iconographie culturelle am\u0026eacute;ricaine distincte.
