  Tweed Museum of Art: Education: 50 Years/50 Artworks: People and Places: Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Luth
Unveiled on November 5, 1965, the nine-foot high sculpture of du Luth graces the entrance to the Tweed Museum of Art on a column of Minnesota granite, overlooking Ordean Court on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth.
True to du Luth’s role as a mediator between the Lake Superior Ojibwe and the trade interests of the French government, Lipchitz costumed him in an Indian jacket, French Louis XIV plumed hat and peruke (wig), a sword at his side and a rolled document in hand.
Sieur du Luth stands as an important late work in which the artist has synthesized fact and myth, as well as Cubistic abstraction and naturalism.

 0227--DANIEL DU LUTH
From the Forward: "Daniel Greysolon Du Luth was one of the most picturesque characters in the early history of French exploration in America, particularly in the region of the Great Lakes.
He has been called the Robin Hood of Canada, because of the romantic and adventurous life that he, a gentleman of France and a former member of the King’s Musketeers, lived among the Indians and in the rude settlements of the then almost unexplored wildernesses of New France.
It is this long and adventurous journey of Du Luth that I have taken as the basis of my tale; and, in the tale itself, I have attempted to show what an expedition of that kind at that period meant and the hardihood, the courage and the endurance it required of those who made it.
