Thursday, March 10, 2016 – Reviving ledger art
Artists tend to use the medium most available to them. As buffalo hides became scarce in the late 19th Century, Plains tribes resorted to drawing on the next-most abundant material: paper from accounting books. Artists drew pictographs of important events sometimes overtop lined paper and hand-written debits and credits of a local business. The style became known as Ledger Art. Now, a new generation of ledger artists are reviving the art form. The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian is mounting a new exhibition that includes ledger art. Call 1-800-99-NATIVE
