Two interesting takes on the historic discussion about what Fred Harvey brought to Native American art, and in what ways it might have commercialized it. First, a Q&A with me by the author of a new book on Navajo Artist Quincy Tahoma, exploring Harvey’s influence. Here’s part one of the interview and Vera, the author, says she’ll be posting part 2 soon.

Also, in the new issue of New Mexico magazine, there’s an article by Tibby Gold about Fred’s influence, timed for market in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, NM Mag doesn’t post all their content on-line so you’ll have to check out the article in the actual mag.
