Paperback. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Native Modernism: The Art of George Morrison and Allan Houser showcases magnificent paintings, drawings, and sculptures by two highly acclaimed artists. In this groundbreaking, beautifully illustrated book, distinguished Native American writers and scholars add a rich new dimension to previously published accounts of Native American art with a fascinating exploration of Morrison's and Houser's work in the context of contemporary art, Native American art history, and cultural identity.George Morrison (Grand Portage Band of Chippewa, 1919-2000) and Allan Houser (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache, 1914-1994) shattered expectations for Native art, and paved the way for successive generations to experiment with a wide array of styles and techniques. Born in a small Chippewa community in Minnesota, Morrison traveled and studied in New York City and Europe during an extraordinarily creative period in twentieth-century art. He emerged triumphantly as both a major American artist and an Indian artist. Often described as an abstract expressionist, Morrison developed, in such celebrated series as his Horizon paintings, a non-figurative visual language.Sculptor and painter Allan Houser also forged a unique path that redefined the way art by Native Americans is viewed and understood. The work of this prominent twentieth-century artist has appeared in important exhibitions in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and his monumental bronze Offering of the Sacred Pipe, installed at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, has become a worldwide symbol of peace.

Harry Truman / Independence / March 25, 1958." "This is almost like campaigning for President, except that the people are making promises to me instead of the other way around." - Truman in a letter to Bess, as he traveled the "Old Road" as president of the association. In 1925, following his second defeat for Jackson County Judge, Harry Truman was 41 years old and "completely broke." He took jobs selling memberships to the Kansas City Automobile Club and as president of the National Old Trails Association. His travels for the Old Trails Association brought him closer to his political constituents and sharpened his political campaigning skills, all necessary for his eventual run for the Senate in Missouri, and future political fortunes. The National Old Trails Road Association was founded in 1912 to promote the National Old Trails Road, a transcontinental highway running from Baltimore, Maryland to Los Angeles, California. The road follows historic routes, including the National Road and the Santa Fe Trail. The association's primary objectives included advocating for the road's improvement and maintenance, facilitating cross-country travel and commerce, and preserving the historical significance of the route. Harry S. Truman, who later became the 33rd President of the United States, served as president of the association from 1926 to 1942. Signed.
