Book Description
For the Southwestern Indians, painting was a natural part of all the arts and ceremonies through which they expressed their perception of the universe and their sense of identification with nature. It was wholly lacking in individualism, included no portraits, singled out no artists. But the roving life of the Plains Indians produced a more personal art. Their painted hides were records of an individual's exploits intended, not to supplicate or appease unearthly powers, but to gain prestige within the tribe and proclaim invincibility to an enemy. Plains painting served man-to-man relationships, Southwestern painting those of man to nature, man to God. Such characteristics, and the ways they persist in contemporary Indian painting, are documented by the 157 examples Miss Dunn has chosen to illustrate her story. Thirty-three of these pictures, in full color, are here published for the first time.

Book Description
The fine-art Studio of the Santa Fe Indian School, directed by noted educator, curator, and author Dorothy Dunn beginning in 1932, was a major force in bringing American Indian painting to national and worldwide attention. Dunn encouraged students to pursue their own Native artistic tradition, expressing that tradition through a modern language of symbolism and abstraction. Two essays, one by art historian Rushing and the other by anthropologist Bernstein accompany 125 works collected by Dunn, painted by artists such as Joe H. Herrera, Pablita Velarde, Oscar Howe, and Gerald Nailor. 10.25x11.25" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
