Hello! And welcome to another posting of The Collection of Indigenous American Art. I hope by now that you agree that with me that “Primitive” art really does have a place in a contemporary art collection. I mean now that there are dozens of prints for you to view here on the blog archive do you agree that it is hard to accept that all of these art works are better than 250 years old. I constantly wonder when I print the proofs each week, they seem so modern and post-modern, I think that they could easily be a part of the Pacific Standard Time Exhibition that is the talk of the art world right now. In Fact it is true that the work of the indigenous American artist has had an influence on the contemporary artist. We should all be very proud of these works and the artist that created them. Know matter who we are, we are all men and the artistic achievement of mankind is our common bond.
There are no photographs this week, but I would like to point out a photo from last weeks post. It is a little difficult to see at first view. The balance of this stone is the first thing of beauty. It is a freestanding sculpture, very stable indeed. Now see if you can find the fantastic image of a water bird with a graceful neck and along pointed bill. The entire anatomy of the creature is represented, only the legs are omitted. It is a thing of contemporary beauty
