The article goes over the relationship between the indigenous arts and American art history.
The brief essay highlights major exhibits and installations of Native art in American art museums.
Indigenous arts play a huge role in the art we have here in America.
Indigenous arts first came into play after the first world war as if was a way for Americans to celebrate
their independence. The first exhibits of these paintings took place at the Museum of Fine Arts in
Santa Fe (1919), the Arts Club in Chicago (1920), and The Society of Independent Artists in New York
City (1920, 1921, and 1922). This was a great way to get their art noticed. Americans couldn't get
enough of this art and were fascinated by how different it was. With Native art joining the American
arts it at first was not appreciated by some people. Before that, it was usually white men. But you
cannot deny art! As a fellow artist, as the years go on the value and rarity increased so with the
background and historic value of their indigenous arts and the effect they had on American history
these works are priceless.
Below are my favorites from the rise of indigenous arts
