In Indians in Color, noted cultural critic Norman K. Denzin
addresses the acute differences in the treatment of artwork about
Native America created by European-trained artists compared to
those by Native artists. In his fourth volume exploring race and
culture in the New West, Denzin zeroes in on painting movements in
Taos, New Mexico over the past century. Part performance text, part
art history, part cultural criticism, part autoethnography, he once
again demonstrates the power of visual media to reify or resist
racial and cultural stereotypes, moving us toward a more nuanced
view of contemporary Native American life. In this book,
Denzin-contrasts the aggrandizement by collectors and museums of
the art created by the early 20th century Taos Society of Artists
under railroad sponsorship with that of indigenous Pueblo
painters;-shows how these tensions between mainstream and Native
art remains today; and-introduces a radical postmodern artistic
aesthetic of contemporary Native artists that challenges notions of
the "noble savage."
