Leading the West
one hundred contemporary painters and sculptors
by Donald J. Hagerty
About
Authors Chuck and Jan Rosenak, renowned collectors of American folk art, embarked in 1983 on a ten-year journey through one of the last outposts of America's shrinking West, the Navajo Nation. In the flickering firelight of a Yeibichai dance, in a sun-dappled brush arbor, in the cool of an adobe trading post, they found innovative folk art and the remarkable individuals behind the art. Among the Diné, the People, artists brave taboos to express their personal visions, picking up cardboard and cottonwood, clay and wool to produce wonderful, whimsical, warm-hearted creations. Within these pages, these artists receive the recognition they deserve.--From publisher description.
