Women and Ledger Art: Four Contemporary Native American Artists by Richard Pearce
Ledger art has traditionally been created by men to recount the lives of male warriors on the Plains. During the past 40 years, this form has been adopted by Native female artists, who are turning previously untold stories of women's lives in ledger-style picutres.
Women and Ledger Art calls attention to the extraordinary achievements of these strong women. Author Richard Pearce highlights these contributions by focusing on 4 contemporary artists: Sharron Ahtone Harjo (Kiowa), Colleen Cutschall (Oglala Lakota), Linda Haukaas (Sicangu Lakota) and Dolores Purdy Corcoran (Caddo). Pearce spent 6 years in continual communication with the women, learning about their work, their lives, and their contriubtions to Plains Indian history. With stunning images of works in various medium, Women and Ledger Art reflects the new life these artists have brought to an important trancultural form of expression.
