Great Plains Art Museum Exhibits Modern Native American Art
A new permanent collection exhibition at the Great Plains Art Museum, "Ceremonial Dancing and Collaborative Spirits: Modern Native American Art," surveys the traditional studio style of modern Native American art, from the mid-1920s to the mid-1990s, with a purposely narrowed focus of works on paper.
The exhibition is guest-curated by Great Plains Art Museum graduate assistant Kimberly Minor, who also authored an accompanying exhibition catalog. While the style is traditionally defined by highly stylized, flatly painted images of social and religious ceremonies, it has survived and progressed for more than 70 years largely unanalyzed by the art community. This exhibition explores the progression of both formal technique and expressive political content as its creators move from ethnographic precision to personal reflections of community identity. more...
