Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe
This event has already occurred
Description
Oscar Howe, a Yanktonai Dakota artist, is credited with challenging stereotypes and opening up new opportunities for Native American artists. This retrospective covers the progression of his painting approach, from traditional work in the 1930s through the emergence of his own style in the 1950s and ’60s—a blend of modern and traditional elements of Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) culture.
