The Institute of American Indian Arts

"The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe has been widely credited with revolutionizing and revitalizing modern Indian painting. This volume, the first book-length study of the IAIA, examines the history, patronage, and ideology of the Institute. Many of the most successful Indian artists are connected with the IAIA either as faculty or students, including Fritz Scholder, T.C. Cannon, Allan Houser, and Dan Naminha, to name a few.".

"This book provides a contribution to current dialogues regarding the role of education in cultural change, government patronage of the arts, and Native artistic autonomy versus cultural imperialism."--BOOK JACKET.
