Native Modernism: The Art of George Morrison and Allan Houser
showcases magnificent paintings, drawings, and sculptures by two
highly acclaimed artists. In this groundbreaking, beautifully
illustrated book, distinguished Native American writers and
scholars add a rich new dimension to previously published accounts
of Native American art with a fascinating exploration of Morrison's
and Houser's work in the context of contemporary art, Native
American art history, and cultural identity. George Morrison (Grand
Portage Band of Chippewa, 1919-2000) and Allan Houser (Warm Springs
Chiricahua Apache, 1914-1994) shattered expectations for Native
art, and paved the way for successive generations to experiment
with a wide array of styles and techniques. Born in a small
Chippewa community in Minnesota, Morrison traveled and studied in
New York City and Europe during an extraordinarily creative period
in twentieth-century art. He emerged triumphantly as both a major
American artist and an Indian artist. Often described as an
abstract expressionist, Morrison developed, in such celebrated
series as his Horizon paintings, a non-figurative visual language.
Sculptor and painter Allan Houser also forged a unique path that
redefined the way art by Native Americans is viewed and understood.
The work of this prominent twentieth-century artist has appeared in
important exhibitions in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and his
monumental bronze Offering of the Sacred Pipe, installed at the
U.S. Mission to the United Nations, has become a worldwide symbol
of peace.
