Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West
Tuesday March 26, 2013 from 6:00am - 6:00am
Utah Museum of Fine Arts
410 Campus Center Dr
Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 Get Directions
Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West is an ambitious exhibition comprising over 100 oil paintings, sculpture and works on paper drawn from primarily from the Diane and Sam Stewart Collection. It examines depictions of American Indian identity (by both natives and non-natives) in a diverse array of styles: from the traditional European schools to Modernist abstaction and conceptual renderings of cultural motifs. Subject matter focuses on the Pueblo people of Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico but other important and impactful portraits of American Indians are also included. Artworks range in tone from the romantic and ideal to the utterly real, sometimes taking on sensitive subject matter that is often inherent to contemporary American Indian identity. This exhibition negotiates the devices and implications of portraiture as an historical genre, to show that a portrait can either fashion a mythologized persona or an authentic personal dynamic that speaks to lived experience.
