Between 1940 and 1960, many Native American artists made bold
departures from what was considered the traditional style of Indian
painting. They drew on European and other non-Native American
aesthetic innovations to create hybrid works that complicated
notions of identity, authenticity, and tradition. This richly
illustrated volume focuses on the work of these pioneering Native
artists, including Pueblo painters Jose Lente and Jimmy Byrnes,
Ojibwe painters Patrick DesJarlait and George Morrison, Cheyenne
painter Dick West, and Dakota painter Oscar Howe. Bill Anthes
argues for recognizing the transformative work of these Native
American artists as distinctly modern, and he explains how bringing
Native American modernism to the foreground rewrites the broader
canon of American modernism.In the mid-twentieth century, Native
artists began to produce work that reflected the accelerating
integration of Indian communities into the national mainstream as
well as, in many instances, their own experiences beyond Indian
reservations as soldiers or students. During this period, a dynamic
exchange among Native and non-Native collectors, artists, and
writers emerged. Anthes describes the roles of several
anthropologists in promoting modern Native art, the treatment of
Native American "Primitivism" in the writing of the Jewish American
critic and painter Barnett Newman, and the painter Yeffe Kimball's
brazen appropriation of a Native identity. While much attention has
been paid to the inspiration Native American culture provided to
non-Native modern artists, Anthes reveals a mutual cross-cultural
exchange that enriched and transformed the art of both Natives and
non-Natives.
