Description: Artist signed hard cover book, 1972 (early in the artist's career), Northland Press, Flagstaff, Arizona, on the famous Native American contemporary artist FRITZ SCHOLDER (1937-2005). Scholder was arguably the best known and influential Native American artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He was 1/4 Luiseno (California Mission) Indian and part German, and as a result of his mixed heritage, found himself uniquely positioned to comment on it through art. His family moved to Sacramento in the mid 1950's and he was soon enrolling at Sacramento State, where Wayne Thiebaud was one of his teachers, introducing him to Pop Art. Thiebaud also helped him launch his first solo exhibition. Over subsequent years, Scholder developed his own distinct style, mixing the contemporary with Pop Art with Southwestern imagery and culture; his vision was a fascinating mix of cultures and artistic movements. He himself became influential over another generation of artists, through his teaching at the Institute of American Indian Arts at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Later in life he traveled extensively, including Egypt and North Africa. This book came out when he was only 35 years old. There are a number of color images of which I have included a sampling. Dust jacket shows genuine wear but no major tears. Some interior pages have some discoloration, one has a fold, etc.. The book measures 12" by 8 1/2".
