Lovato, Grace Medicine Flower, Preston Monongye, Michale Naranjo, Fritz Scholder, Elizabeth White. Forward by Lloyd Kiva New. "Introducing a totally new concept, this handsome book is a long-needed addition to the body of literature on Indian art. Here at last is a first-hand account, both visual and verbal, of the artists themselves--their lives and their work. These are the artists of today--the individualists--expressing themselves in a deeply personal way, yet retaining all the richness of their cultural heritage. Included are seventeen Southwestern artists who excel in four major media--painting, sculpture, ceramics, and silversmithing. Beautifully conceived and executed, the book contains biographies and photographic portraits of each artist, a personal statement form each and a representative grouping in full color of each artist's work.
