David Bradley (1954- )
American Indian Gothic
Anishinabe/Lakota (Chippewa/Sioux)
"When I first entered the somewhat glamorous world of professional art, I thought I would steer clear of politics . . . Eventually, I realized that Indians are, by definition, political beings . . . I saw the continual exploitation of the Indian art community by museums in the Southwest . . . I witnessed multi-million dollar fraud by pseudo-Indian artists . . . and so began to speak out on what I saw as widespread corruption in the art world."
Rich Hill, Creativity Is Our Tradition. (Santa Fe, New Mexico: The Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development: 1992).
