Kay WalkingStick Symposium 10 - Elizabeth Hutchinson
Description:
The symposium Seizing the Sky: Redefining American Art commemorates the opening of the major retrospective Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist, on view at the National Museum of the American Indian through September 18, 2016. In celebrating the work of Kay WalkingStick (Cherokee), the symposium and exhibition offer a fresh perspective on American art. In this segment, Elizabeth Hutchinson, Barnard College/Columbia University, speaks on "What Are We Celebrating? American Art's Encounter with Multiculturalism in the 1990s." Elizabeth Hutchinson is associate professor of North American art history at Barnard College/Columbia University. She earned a BA at Yale University and a PhD from Stanford University. She is the author of The Indian Craze: Primitivism, Modernism, and Transculturation in American Art, 1890-1915 (2009) and is working on a book exploring issues of sovereignty in portraits of Native Americans from the colonial period to the twentieth century. Hutchinson and a group of graduate students have organized an exhibition, Messages Across Time and Space: Inupiat Drawings from the 1890s at Columbia University, which is currently on view at Columbia's Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race. The symposium was webcast live and recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on November 5, 2015.
