Imprisoned Art, Complex Patronage: Plains Drawings by Howling Wolf and Zotom at the Autry National Center

Szabo (art history, U. of New Mexico) has produced a complete analysis of the circumstances behind the drawings as well as their content, discussing in an initial essay who made drawings at Fort Marion and why. The collector Eva Scott and collecting of native American drawings are discussed in a lengthy second chapter before Szabo turns to the in-depth treatment of the drawing books produced by Howling Wolf and Zotom. The volume is published in an oversized format (8.5x10") and features color plates of excellent quality. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
