“I see an artist recognizing, if only subconsciously, his role and the power he wields in directing the representations of Indigenous people. He shows us that the portrayals of Indigenous people, from which he has made a living, are staged.” Visit PhxArt’s Art of the Americas galleries to read more by Velma Kee Craig (@veekeeceee), a member of the Diné community, who offers an interpretation of Studio Interior (A Corner of My Studio) (1925) by Joseph Henry Sharp from the #PhxArtCollection. Craig’s commissioned label was created as part of the Museum’s ongoing #PhxArtReframed series, which invites guest authors from the community to contribute their perspectives and expertise to our understanding of the PhxArt Collection. On your next trip to PhxArt, explore the rest of our galleries to discover labels by other subject-matter experts who interpret works from our American, Western American, and European art collections. #indigenouspeoples #reframed #nativeamerican #westernart #americanart #phxart #phoenixartmuseum Image credit: Joseph Henry Sharp, Studio Interior (A Corner of My Studio) (Estudio interior [Una esquina de mi studio]), c. 1925.
