Demonstrating its vitality and diversity, the contributors examine pottery, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and performance art by some of the most celebrated Native American and Canadian artists of our time. From the Pueblo pottery revival to the invention and marketing of modern Inuit art, contributors offer new interpretive strategies based on Native culture and knowledge, stressing the significance of tradition, mythology and ceremony in the production of Native art. Tracing the continued resistance of Native artists to dominant orthodoxies of the art market and art history, Native American Art in the Twentieth Century is a testament to Native art's place in modern art history.
