Below: Allan Houser, a Chiricahua Apache, was born in Apache, Oklahoma.
(June 30, 1914 – August 22, 1994). He was a Chiricahua Apache
sculptor, painter, and book illustrator and one of the most renowned
Native American painters and Modernist sculptors of the 20th century.
Houser said, “I work not just for myself, but to honor the
American Indian. I hope to draw attention to centuries-old Native American
values, especially the concepts of living in harmony with nature, which
can benefit all people.”
