Friday Museum Sketches
I finally got to see the Seattle Art Museum’s Native American art exhibit, Indigenous Beauty, this weekend before it closed and enjoyed it immensely. There was a lot of stuff I was familiar with like a lot of the northwest coastal and pueblo art and others I was genuinely surprised I had never heard of. What especially impressed me was plains tribes clothing… Above is a buffalo leather dress from the Wasco in Oregon, the other one is Lakota. I found myself wondering what kind of price tag on the hours of labor alone… It’s all the more impressive when you realize that checkered pattern is all beadwork.
