Greetings ArtConversation Visitors,

Every once in a while I like to check in on Artcyclopedia to see what
news John Malyon is reporting. Here is the link to an article about
the work of Fritz Scholder (1/4 Native American). I have always liked
his work:
Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian
The National Museum of the American Indian: New York City / Washington, D.C.
By K. Kimberly King

Web Exhibit:
Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian
http://www.nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/scholder/
Teaching resources available on the site.
The exhibitions remain on view through May 17, 2009, in New York and
Aug. 16, 2009, in Washington.

There is also an exhibit at Santa Fe's Institute of American Indian
Arts through June 7, 2009, Fritz Scholder: An Intimate Look.

Not much on the site, though.

Fritz Scholder's own site is still online:

I used his work as inspiration for third grade paintings many years ago. They LOVED it that their work was much like a real artist. The colors were fantastic. The students painted dancing Kachinas (right or wrong -- that is what we painted).

Enjoy!
