Timeline

1953

Gerald Raymond McMaster (born 9 March 1953, in North Battleford) is a curator, artist, and author and a Plains Cree member of the Siksika Nation.

McMaster is a professor at OCAD University and is the adjunct curator at the Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Gerald McMaster was born in 1953 and grew up on the Red Pheasant First Nation reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada.

His father is Blackfoot, while his mother is Plains Cree.

He says he grew up listening to the Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy on the radio, while avidly reading western comic books – all of which would later influence his art.

McMaster says, "I've been an urban Indian since the age of nine. I've attended art school in the United States, trained in the Western tradition; yet I am referred to as an 'Indian' artist. I have danced and sung in the traditional powwow style of Northern Plains, yet my musical tastes are global ..."

1973

McMaster studied art at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 1973 to 1975.

He earned his BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

He earned his master's degree in Anthropology and Sociology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, and continued his studies at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

McMaster draws and paints with humour and an ironic juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary pop culture elements.

Identities, fluid and multiple, are central to his art practice.

In his piece Eclectic Baseball, "traditional Plains Indian symbols of warfare and sacred ceremony were freely mixed with symbols and actual equipment of contemporary baseball".

One of his best known series is The cowboy/Indian Show.

Hide painting, pictographs, and petroglyphs inspire his methods of representation.

He works in oil and acrylic.
