Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian

Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian by Truman T. Lowe. paperback edition. ISBN: 9783791361581.

In the 1960s and 70s, the notion of American Indian art was turned on its head by artists who fought against prejudice and popular cliches. At the forefront of this revolution was Fritz Scholder (Luiseno, 1937-2005), whose dark, energetic, and unsettling paintings of Native Americans combined realism, tragedy, and spirituality with the genres of abstract impressionism and pop art. Published to coincide with a landmark two-city exhibition in New York and Washington, D.C., this beautiful volume features hundreds of extraordinary paintings, prints, sculptures, and photographs, along with thoughtful discussions of Scholders myth-shattering depictions of the Native American experience.
