Opis: Native Modernism - Norton

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 provide 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 Ciricahua 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, George 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 a non-figurative visual language in such celebrated series as his Horizon paintings. Sculptor and painter Allan Houser also forged a unique path that redefined the way art by Native Americans is viewed and understood. 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. "Both Houser and Morrison defied stereotypes . . . and created art of a personal character. They entered the modernist project in very different ways, but each left a rich legacy of work." -- Joyce M. Szabo
