The exhibition highlights the more-than-40-year career of contemporary Native artist Fritz Scholder (Luiseno, 1937-2005) through a range of media—paintings, bronze sculptures, and lithographs—he used to explore his evocative interests and to focus on his deeply personal experiences. Particular emphasis are on his ground-breaking and controversial Indian paintings from the 1960s and 1970s.
