This landmark publication brings Indigenous art to the fore with
the presentation of 280 objects from the Nelson-Atkins Museum's
rich collection. More than two-thirds of the volume's featured
masterworks-paintings, sculptures, drawings, regalia, ceramics,
textiles, and baskets-have never before appeared in publication.
Created by both known and unknown makers, these singular and
profound aesthetic achievements represent the traditions of
communities across the US and Canada in a continuum of visual
expression from pre-encounter to the present. Curator Gaylord
Torrence traces the evolution of the Nelson-Atkins holdings, which
have expanded significantly since 2002. Fundamental concepts for
understanding Native art as well as an overview of traditions from
across the United States and Canada guide readers through the
illustrations. Director Emeritur and Founding Director of the
Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian W. Richard West
Jr. (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma) contributes a
compelling essay on the meanings of Native art. A final essay
brings forward the voices of twenty-two of the contemporary artists
represented in the collection.
