Description: James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection : Selected Works, Paperback by White, Mark Andrew (EDT), ISBN 0806143045, ISBN-13 9780806143040, Brand New, Free shipping in the US James T. Bialac was the child of working-class immigrants who became a successful lawyer. Along the way he discovered art, and began to collect the work of Native American artists (and related artists such as Fritz Scholder) and to do legal work for Native communities. As a result, he became a self-taught collector with personal connections to many tribal artists. Bialac bought work from across the continent in styles that ranged from Indian-school style watercolors and Inuit ink sketches to modernist political works and contemporary abstract painting. This book documents selected pieces from the collection of more than 4000 works of art Bialac donated to the Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma. Th is oversized and available in soft or hardcover (ISBN: 978-0-8-9) with fine reproduction quality. Paintings make up the majority of the works in the collection, but a large number of first-rate kachina dolls and a smaller number of sculptural works and jewelry are included. The collection has its greatest depth in the US Southwest, and traditional styles are strongly represented. However, Bialac's collecting was ecletic, and artistically rather than ethnographically focused. Works by most canonically-major Native artists of the 20th century are seen here, including Harrison Begay, Alvin "Makya" James, Robert Chee, Charles Loloma, Emmi Whitehorse, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Diego Romero.
