DID YOU KNOW The Characters In @Netflix’s Western Revenge Tale #TheHarderTheyFall Were Based On Actual

DID YOU KNOW the characters in @Netflix’s western revenge tale #TheHarderTheyFall were based on actual figures from the old west? 🤠 👆 Check out this original art by Tumblr Creatr Nyanza D. based on the IRL Rufus Buck! Rufus Buck, the son of a Black woman and a Muscogee (Creek Indian) man, wasted no time jumping into his vocation as an outlaw. He was just 18 when he led his five-person gang of young Black and Indigenous gunslingers on a 13-day violent crime spree. His goal was to trigger an uprising and reclaim the parts of Indian Territory that later became Oklahoma and Arkansas for the native people who had lived there for centuries. Ultimately unsuccessful and arrested for his crimes on 1895, the young outlaw was hanged a year later at Fort Smith in Arkansas. (1877–1896) 🎥 Watch The Harder They Fall, playing in select theaters on October 22 and on Netflix globally on November 3.

In anticipation of the (now virtual) New York Caribbean Week and the annual Labor Day Parade, this August we’re highlighting artworks in the Museum’s collection that celebrate the presence of Caribbean culture and its diasporas.

Jamaican artist Ebony G. Patterson uses lavish surfaces and verdant motifs to entice viewers to contemplate not only the power of beauty and fashion but also historical and contemporary violence against Black bodies. In the monumental three-channel video installation …three kings weep…, a trio of towering young men shed tears as they sit silently before a backdrop of floral wallpaper and fluttering artificial butterflies. The videos play backwards, and as a result the initially shirtless men appear to be slowly dressing themselves in colorful clothing with mixed patterns and gleaming jewelry that draw on the styles of dancehall culture and carnival costuming. Silence is intermittently interrupted by the voice of a boy reciting “If We Must Die,” a sonnet that Jamaican-born writer Claude McKay published in 1919 after a summer of intense racial terror and resistance across the United States. In the final seconds of the more than eight-minute-long triptych, as the men’s sartorial performance ends, each proudly crowns himself with a bandana, a bucket hat, and a pair of reflective glasses, respectively. As in McKay’s poem, these three kings are ready to fight for their dignity.

Come view this work, along with other videos from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection, starting September 9 in an upcoming outdoor screening series—stay tuned for details!
