Publisher's Note
Modern by Tradition: American Indian Painting in the Studio Style presents the form, style, and pictorial intention behind the finest artists to emerge from the Studio, the renowned art program developed at the Santa Fe Indian School in the 1930s by Dorothy Dunn. Featuring provocative essays by noted art historian W. Jackson Rushing and anthropologist Bruce Bernstein and 120 beautifully reproduced works by artists such as Joe Herrera, Pablita Velarde, Oscar Howe, and Gerald Nailor, Modern by Tradition takes the first exclusive look at the Studio Style of modern Indian Painting since Dunn's landmark American Indian Painting (1968).

Industry Reviews
Fresh from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1932, Dorothy Dunn founded the Fine Art Studio at the Santa Fe Indian School. After five years and many bureaucratic struggles, she passed the leadership to Geronima Cruz Montoya, a former student, who continued the effort for another 25 years. Dunn encouraged her young students, mostly in their teens, to paint from everyday life with a keen awareness of the Southwest Native American past. Exposure to contemporary art and modern materials added to an eventual blend of old and new, a traditional modernism. Dunn's methods have been criticized as patronizing, despite worldwide acclaim for the work specifically and for former students who became professionals generally. Art lovers and historians can judge for themselves in this visually stunning book produced by art historian Rushing and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture assistant director Bernstein. Best suited for large public libraries and American art history collections. Susan M. Olcott, Columbus Metropolitan Lib., Ohio
Breitman

The fine-art Studio of the Santa Fe Indian School, directed by noted educator, curator, and author Dorothy Dunn beginning in 1932, was a major force in bringing American Indian painting to national and worldwide attention. Dunn encouraged students to pursue their own Native artistic tradition, expressing that tradition through a modern language of symbolism and abstraction. Two essays, one by art historian Rushing and the other by anthropologist Bernstein accompany 125 works collected by Dunn, painted by artists such as Joe H. Herrera, Pablita Velarde, Oscar Howe, and Gerald Nailor. 10.25x11.25 " Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
