Women and Ledger Art: Four Contemporary Native American Artists

Like new condition

Ledger art has traditionally been created by men to recount the lives of male warriors on the Plains. During the past forty years, this form has been adopted by Native female artists, who are turning previously untold stories of women's lives into ledger-style pictures.
Women and Ledger Art calls attention to the extraordinary achievements of these strong women. Author Richard Pearce highlights these contributions by focusing on four contemporary artists:
Sharron Ahtone Harjo (Kiowa), Colleen Cutschall (Oglala Lakota), Linda Haukaas (Sicangu Lakota), and Dolores Purdy Corcoran (Caddo).
Pearce spent six years in continual communication with the women, learning about their work, their lives, and their contributions to Plains Indian history. With stunning images of works in various mediums,
Women and Ledger Art reflects the new life these artists have brought to an important transcultural form of expression.
