10" Navajo Pottery Vase

Christine McHorse (read more from the Smithsonian)
(Diné, 1948-2021)
Also known as Christine Nofchissey McHorse. McHorse was introduced to the work of Picasso, Gaudi, and Matisse at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, when it was a high school for the arts. When exposed to these artists at the age of 14, she said they “opened a whole new world.” Native American artwork is characterized by what Western critics and historians designate abstraction—but its naturalism and stylized forms rise out of a culture that is timeless and self-sufficient. The beauty and contemporary appearance of McHorse’s work rises from Native American sovereignty and nationhood, from life on the reservation, not from a Westernized impulse.
