Description
Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist explores the life and career of one of America's most renowned Native American artists. This comprehensive volume features essays by leading scholars, arranged chronologically to guide readers through WalkingStick's artistic journey. From her early experiments with color and the human form in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to her later focus on abstraction and the influence of her Native identity, WalkingStick's work has been marked by a rich diversity of themes and styles. This book delves into her use of historical subjects, including Chief Joseph and Sacagawea, as well as her exploration of motherhood, sexuality, and Christianity. Through its examination of WalkingStick's art and life, this book offers a broader appreciation for the artist's work and provides insight into the complexities of Native American identity in America.
