Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe introduces new generations to one of the twentieth century’s most innovative Native American painters. Dakota Modern traces more than forty years of the artist’s career and development from early work created while in high school in the 1930s through the emergence in the 1950s and 1960s of his innovative and abstract approach to painting.
