American Girl Frank Buffalo Hyde Iroquois 24" x 12"

Opened on November 14, 2009, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian presented Continuum: Recent Works by Frank Buffalo Hyde.

This exhibition showcases contemporary paintings by the artist that convey the reality of the Native American condition. A visual poet, Hyde calls his paintings a reaction against the Southwest's tradition of serene Indian portraits. He states, "As an artist I am the product of all that have come before me. ... I feel that it is my responsibility to take the art to places it has never been in hopes that it may be seen in a different way."

This exhibit will run through April 4, 2010.
