Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series consists of posters, art cards, and pages collected by Mary Gormly from 1949-1983. This diverse series includes various artworks that are not directly connected to a specific indigenous community. Artist Barry Herem is influenced by a Northwest Coast Indian Style and black and red are his preferred colors. Artist Roy Henry Vickers is from a mixed heritage of Tsimshian, Haida, and Heitsuk and reflects that diversity in his art. The series also includes Hopi artist Fred Kabotie’s pages that introduce Mimbreno art and history.
