Western Art of the Twenty-First Century : Native Americans Hardback
by E. Ashley Rooney
Part of the Western Art of the Twenty-first Century series
Hardback
Description
The second book in this two-volume survey, readers are invited to reexamine the history of the West and its art through a multifaceted modern lens.
More than 30 artists are included who reflect the tremendous diversity, depth, and breadth of a field steeped in history.
While some follow the traditions established by Remington and Russell, others seek to break from tradition, busting myths and bringing new insights and artistic styles to the genre.
They come from both sides of the Mississippi and have pedigrees that range from bona fide cowboy or Native American credentials to careers in commercial illustration.
The unifying theme is a common concern for and commitment to their art and the West itself.
In this volume, contemporary artists are featured whose work revolves around Native Americans.
Native Americans still exist, and in many cases are thriving, as they revive or maintain their culture.
Historically and even today, most imagery featuring native people suggests a lost cause or vanishing race.
We hope that the art created on these pages will help reinforce the fact that Native American culture, while still threatened, is viable among many tribes.
