Spirit Red: Visions of Native American Artists from the Rennard Strickland Collection

Description

“Spirit Red” was published in conjunction with the 2009 exhibition celebrating the gift of Rennard Strickland s significant collection to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma. The diverse collection of Native American art was acquired over five decades and includes more than 200 works representing some of the most acclaimed artists of the twentieth century through the present. The donation was made in memory of Strickland’s mother, Adell Tucker Strickland. Essays by Rennard Strickland address the collection, his personal family history, and his relationships with the artists as a fellow member of the Native arts community.”
