Representing the work of Native artists from the late 1800s to the present  the collection demonstrates the survival and flowering of work by Navajo  Pueblo  and other American Indian artists across the generations.  Helen Cox Kersting grew up in Illinois  but gained fame as an opera star in Europe. Kersting became a sophisticated collector of exceptional work by famed jewelers  such as Leo Poblano  John Gordon Leak  Charles Loloma  and Frank Dishta  and she was fascinated by the pottery of masters such as Maria Martinez  Lucy Lewis  Margaret Tafoya  and Nampeyo. Creations by leading Native artists today  including brilliant works by Veronica Poblano  Tammy Garcia  Grace Medicine Flower  Jacob Koopee  and Les Namingha  were added to the collection. Generations presents a visual feast of Native arts of the American Southwest  with approximately 550 color plates. Essays by James H. Nottage  Diana F. Pardue (Heard Museum)  and Bruce Bernstein (Santa Fe Indian Market) provide insights into the history of the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636850163765,"sku":"ByrdShop_0979849519","price":75.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780979849510.jpg?v=1791556781","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/generations-the-helen-cox-kersting-collection-of-southwestern-cultural-arts-9780979849510","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
