That said, Native American art history is still woefully underdeveloped as a discipline, and we desperately need new surveys of indigenous American art history, especially one written by art historians who are themselves indigenous.<br /><br />As an artist, I'm continually frustrated by the fact that so many people in positions of power over indigenous art institutions neither have an art background or a background in indigenous studies. How can our art world grow if so many influential people don't know the basics of indigenous American art history, mainstream art history, indigenous cultures, or contemporary art theory?ahaleniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333619966846366243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051438850730284823.post-65317001588278693812012-02-04T22:34:54.689-07:002012-02-04T22:34:54.689-07:00Fine that this is published, however none of these...Fine that this is published, however none of these authors is an art historian.

It's my college's equivalence of finals week. It will take me another week before I can step away from teaching and catch up on my fun, inspiring "art book" reading.Lara Evanshttp://travelepeapod.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
