Fritz Scholder

One of the real pleasures of working down below the financial district is the National Museum of the American Indian. A perfect place for an extended lunch hour. (Though, truth be told, I don't know that any of my coworkers have ever been in here. )

Right now the Fritz Scholder show is up - part here and part in DC. The DC show looks to have the Indian paintings from the 60's & 70's that made Scholder's name. More of the latter work up here, including this self portrait from 2003. Phonepic. FS died in 2005. Be sure to look at the works page at mnai.
