After the storm
"This volume celebrates the work of distinguished senior artist Allan Houser and five contemporary Native American artists awarded the second biennial Eiteljorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art. Essays discuss each of the artists, and color illustrations present the best of their work. A stunning variety of media, styles, and subjects demonstrates the versatility of Native American artists today. From intense drawings to otherworldly ivory carvings, the pieces featured represent a broad geographic and emotional range. Some evoke images and memories from a uniquely Native American experience, giving a new twist to familiar themes, often with sharp wit, such as Teresa Marshall's Bering Strait Jacket. Others, such as the geometrical patterns of Joe Feddersen's prints, embody the intellectual coolness of modern abstract art."--BOOK JACKET.
