Essays on Native Modernism: Complexity and Contradiction in American Indian Art
Essays on Native Modernism: Complexity and Contradiction in American Indian Art explores the legacies of George Morrison (Grand Portage Band of Chippewa, 1919-2000) and Allan Houser (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache, 1914-1994)--two giants of 20th-century art. Mirroring a symposium held by the museum in May 2005, this book investigates the basis of Native modernism by eliciting a broad discussion about the critical perspectives and practices of Native artists across North America. Essays on Native Modernism also examines the place of Native modernism in the American canon and the currents of influence between Native and non-Native art.
