dc.description.abstractWhile the use of Native and non-Native elements in recent American Indian art is well documented, the work of contemporary Northwest artist Rick Bartow is frequently discussed almost exclusively in terms of biography. This has led to what is arguably a one-dimensional view of the artist and his work. My project is an attempt to frame this acclaimed artist within a new context: that of his purposeful use of cultural hybridity as a vehicle to explore his own postcolonial identity. My thesis locates this aspect of Bartow's work within a larger critical examination of how a mix of Native and non-Native iconography is used by some artists of American Indian descent to critique the status and reception of indigenous art in the context of Western art history. Bartow's on-going collaboration with Japanese Master Printer Seiichi Hiroshima exemplifies how Bartow's innovative use of the signs and symbols of other cultures endeavors to shift the language used to discuss American Indian art.en
