All About Native American Indian Paintings

By Catherine Harris


Regardless of discrete geographical location, culture, and faith, it is amazing how people have all made or developed art in all its types and forms. Like dance, like music, it also functions as a universal mode of expression and communication. That applies just as well with native american Indian paintings NM.

The art of the tribal people of America proffers discrete types and natures. Nowadays, it enables us to visualize their cultures and daily lives. It gives us an overview of their religious beliefs and insights on their means of artistic creations. Through it, we are able to live vicariously and see staples of traditions like their communal rituals and celebrations and essential daily activities like hunting.

There are many other some such delineations. For example, it may be debated whether or not Indian America has its distinct kind of style. Is there a particular technique used, or is there a comprehensive characteristic identifiable by looking at the lines, colors, and forms.

When talking about Native American art, different stereotypes come to mind. The people themselves were children of Nature, and they could have been portrayed in peaceful pre Columbian days, with depictions of unsullied environments, animal hunts, ritualistic traditions, and some such. It could even be about the other side of the picture, reminiscences of days of yore, their noble and bygone chieftains, about colonial expeditions, and about warfare.

On the other hand, you have the paintings that are tagged as such even though the painter comes from other background and ethnicity. They are moved or inspired by Native American history, which is why they choose to paint scenes and themes corresponding thereto. That is why their paintings are still dubbed as NA, even though they are not ethnically or historically related in any way. That serves to illustrate the definitional gray areas of this enterprise.

Certain Stipulations and Acts have even been passed in order to regulate and put defining features on what constitutes Indian Arts and Crafts. One, which was passed in 1990, defines NA art as something that has been done by a certified member of a federally recognized tribe. One may be able to glean from this definition that it does not include painting with Native American themes and scenes, if they have been done by a non Native.

In order to determine whether or not a particular artwork can be classified as among the rarified few, they you will have to refer to a federally authorized source, or a recognized state document that subsumes the artist among a certain tribal affiliation. These delineations are important because the artworks are, in a sense, national treasures and heritage works. They serve to portray a particular historical sentiment or a cultural experience by someone who has experience it firsthand, or have its legacy in their genes.

It says so much about the influence and significance of this culture that steps have been undertaken to protect it. There is an act that prosecutes those who pass of fake crafts as genuine. It catalogs a list of Native American artists, and gives off descriptions and illustrations of native art forms, as well as photos, backgrounds, and reviews of contemporary artists. They give links to artist pages and relevant art cooperatives, and gives general directories of tribes, paintings, crafts, and others.

An artist can go on to create art for arts sake. Or else he or she may do so through the force of cultural sentiments or religious conviction. Or it may simply be all about using the canvas to paint ones feelings. Whatever it is, the importance is on relaying the meanings to a thinking and feeling audience.
