KAY WALKINGSTICK: AN AMERICAN ARTIST EDITED BY KATHLEEN ASH-MILBY & DAVID W. PENNEY
Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist is the most comprehensive retrospective to date of one of the world's most celebrated artists of Native American ancestry. Her distinctive approach to painting emerged from the cauldron of the 1960s and 1970s New York art world, poised between late modernism and postmodernism. During a life filled with intense and prolific artistic creation, WalkingStick, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, sought spiritual truth through painting and personal reflection.
Featuring more than two hundred of her most notable paintings, drawings, small sculptures, and notebooks - as well as the diptychs for which she is best known - this volume traces WalkingStick's career over more than four decades and culminates in her recent paintings of monumental landscapes and Native homelands. In this first major catalogue of her artistic career, the authors also honor the eightieth birthday of this formidable painter. In addition, WalkingStick's detailed biography is finally captured in vivid relation to her artwork, a life story that has only been glimpsed before in disparate pieces.
This publication accompanies an exhibition of the same name, which features more than seventy-five of WalkingStick's artworks that span her long career. Organized chronologically around themes that mark her artistic journey, Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist traces a path of constant invention, innovation, and evolving artistic and personal growth through visually brilliant and evocative works of art.
