=====Summary of Indigenous Art of the Americas===== | |||
[https://www.theartstory.org/movement/american-indigenous-art/ by THE ART STORY] | |||
The art of Indigenous North, Central, and South American cultures spans millennia and continents, from the walrus tusk carvings of the Arctic-based Dorset culture to the elaborate fiber art of the South American Incas. Some of these cultures have been extinct for hundreds or thousands of years. Others survive today with contemporary artists working in response to ancient creative customs. Any attempt to define Indigenous American art in the round risks reducing it to Eurocentric stereotypes. However, a number of consistent features can be picked out concerning its spiritual and social functions, and its common media and motifs, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and splendor of these living traditions. | |||
