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 Morrisons and Housers work in the context of contemporary art  Native American art history  and cultural identity.  George Morrison (Grand Portage Band of Chippewa  19192000) and Allan Houser (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache  19141994) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279580880949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0295984678","price":38.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780295984674.jpg?v=1780602613","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/native-modernism-the-art-of-george-morrison-and-allan-houser-9780295984674","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
