Summary:

"This stunning volume examines the life and work of the most influential, successful, and controversial Native American artist of the 20th century." "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, andspirituality with the genres of abstract expresslonlsm and pop art."--Jacket.
