Synopsis
In Off the Landscape in the Native Imagination, the National Museum of the American Indian presents the paintings, sculpture, and multimedia productions of five outstanding contemporary artists whose work defies common expectations of Native American art in both its form and Jeffrey Gibson (Mississippi Band Choctaw/Cherokee), Carlos Jacanamijoy (Inga), James Lavadour (Walla Walla), Erica Lord (Inuit/Athabascan), and Emmi Whitehorse (Navajo). Essayists John Haworth (Cherokee), Kathleen Ash-Milby, Kate Morris, and Paul Chaat Smith (Comariche) explore the artists' interpretations of landscape as a response to 19th-century painting traditions and the history of Native fine art, as well as in the context of the contemporary art scene. Quotations from the artists provide insight into the ways in which memory, imagination, and the mastery of craft are expressed in their work.
