Product Description
Author: Janet Catherine Berlo
This exhibition and catalog are the first devoted solely to Amiotte's collage series, which he began in 1988. By combining historic drawings, family photographs, advertising circulars, and other imagery, he illustrates the pluralistic and richly textured lives of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Native people.
The series serves as Amiotte's cultural biography, as well as his family album. It provides a penetrating portrait of more than a century of Lakota history, narrated and visualized from a Native point of view. In there images, Amiotts undercuts one-dimensional stereotypes of Indian identity, and presents work that is inventive, humorous, melancholy, witty, profound, and philosophical.
