Overview

This book explores the world of contemporary American Indian Art in the Southwest, a subject that has long been overlooked-until now. At the heart of the book is how these artists are trapped in a world over which they have little control. If they paint what the tourists expect them to paint, such as Indians on horseback hunting buffalo, then they're going to find gallery representation and sell work. Conversely, if they paint the subject of their choice (like Anglo artists do), they have a hard time finding a gallery and making sales. Native Genius tells the compelling stories of some of these indigenous artists and how they've found a way to flourish and create works of great substance.
