by top Santa Fe artist Fritz Scholder depicting Native American man seated. Image measures 22 1/2" x 30" with black mat and metal frame. Controversial and prolific, Scholder embraced paradox. An enrolled member of the Luiseno tribe, he often said he was not Indian. Scholder's works were immediately recognized for their insight and powerful commentary on publicly held stereotypes of Native Americans and propelled Scholder into a position of prominence as an artist. His revolutionary paintings broke away from stereotypical roles and forever changed the concept of "Indian artist". Scholder's constant desire to explore, collect, travel and experience is undoubtedly the distinguishing feature of both his life and his art. He is best known for his expressionist paintings that are in museum collections around the world. His style is well known for its distortions, explosive brushwork and vivid colors.
