Blackbear Bosin (June 5, 1921 – August 9, 1980) was a Comanche-Kiowa sculptor and painter, also known as Tsate Kongia. ==Background== Francis Blackbear Bosin was born June 5, 1921 in Cyril, Oklahoma near Anadarko. His parents were Frank Blackbear and Ada Tivis Bosin. His Kiowa name, Tsate Kongia, means "Blackbear" and belongs to his grandfather, a Kiowa chief. He attended St. Patrick's Mission School in Anadarko and was exposed to the paintings of the Kiowa Five.〔Hanneman, Carolyn G. ("Bosin, Francis Blackbear (1921-1980)." ) ''Oklahoma Historical Society's Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.'' (retrieved 30 Jan 2010)〕 In 1940, Bosin graduated from Cyril High School and moved to Wichita, Kansas that year. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served during World War II.〔 In Kansas, he worked as a color separator and plate maker for Western Lithograph and as an artist for Boeing. In 2010, Margaret Williams Norton wrote a book about Blackbear Bosin that focuses on his The Keeper of the Plains sculpture that sits at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers in Wichita, Kansas.〔("Wichita statue focus of book about artist Blackbear Bosin" ), ''Wichita Eagle and Kansas.com'', Nov. 29, 2010.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blackbear Bosin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
