Issued in conjunction with an exhibition featuring the artwork of American landscape artist Kay WalkingStick (b. 1935). "The most comprehensive retrospective to date of one of the world's most celebrated artists of Native American ancestry. Her distinctive approach to painting emerged from the cauldron of the 1960s and 1970s New York art world, poised between late modernism and postmodernism. During a life filled with intense and prolific artistic creation, WalkingStick, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, sought spiritual truth through painting and personal reflection. Featuring more than two hundred of her most notable paintings, drawings, small sculptures, and notebooks -- as well as the diptychs for which she is best known -- this volumes traces WalkingStick's career over more than four decades and culminates in her recent paintings of monumental landscapes and Native homelands." (dj) Includes nine thematic and illustrated essays. A beautiful volume.
