- Summary:
- "'Leon Polk Smith: Hiding in Plain Sight' expands the interpretation of Smith's work beyond the predominant Eurocentrism criticism to include his ties to Indigenous America. Growing up on Chickasha lands in Depression-era Oklahoma, and later, while working in Santa Fe, Smith would have been exposed to numerous Indigenous creative traditions. By exploring the impact of late-nineteenth-century Southwestern, Plains, and Prarie Indian creative traditions on Smith's work, and then pairing his paintings and works on paper with examples from these traditions, including beadwork and ribbonwork, 'Hiding in Plain Sight' offers insight into, and context about, the under-examined influence of American Indian creative expression on Smith's work and, by extension, on American modernism"--Pages 11-12.
