Portland Art Museum Visit with Native Student Union (NSU)


Sunday, November 13th

@12:00 pm

Portland Art Museum


Join the Native Student Union and CAB on a trip to the Portland Art Museum. The gallery will be featuring works by Oscar Howe. 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. Howe challenged the art establishment’s preconceptions and definitions of Native American painting.
