A new tradition of Pueblo fine art painting arose in the first three decades of the twentieth century, born out of a dynamic encounter between the Pueblo and Euro-American communities in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico. In Pueblo Indian Painting, art historian J. J. Brody presents the first complete history of this vibrant art and places it squarely within the contexts of Pueblo culture and Euro-American modernism, bringing long-overdue recognition to the tradition and its preeminent practitioners as a vital part of American art history.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A preeminent scholar of ancient and modern Southwestern Native American cultures, Brody centers his investigation of Pueblo painting around seven influential artists and the cross-cultural impact of key non-Indian patrons. Their collaborations make fascinating reading and illuminate the course of future developments in Native American easel painting. The lives of artists Velino Herrera, Alfonso Roybal and Tonita Pe?a, among others, provide vivid examples of the conflict between creative impulses and cultural taboos. Despite the encouragement of appreciative patrons, these artists faced great opposition and displeasure from their Pueblo communities. Equally important, Brody is not afraid to revisit a persistent issue: where does anthropology leave off and art history begin? The result is a masterly reevaluation of the history of early-modern Pueblo painting filled with rich insights. Highly recommended for academic collections.?Paula A. Baxter, NYPL
