註釋Plains Indian artwork is remarkable for its aesthetic qualities and creative statements¿but the artwork also reflects collective and communal values. As curators Emma Hansen (Buffalo Bill Center of the West), David Penney (National Museum of the American Indian), and Gaylord Torrence (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art) explain, the artwork in this book is an expression of personal talent and excellence. It is also a reflection of ceremonies and rituals that define the artists¿ communities. From the vivid colors and meticulous details of the beadwork on clothing and bags, to the detailed pictographic art of Plains warriors, the objects in this exhibition are not only beautiful but also tell the story of how Plains cultures changed over time. Movement, the landscape, interaction with other cultures, warfare, and generational change in style all influenced 19th and early 20th century Plains artwork.
