A pioneer of contemporary Native American art, Fritz Scholder (1937–2005), a member of the Luiseño tribe of California, was instrumental in resisting commonly held stereotypes and deconstructing the mythos of the American Indian, while bringing a new visual vocabulary to Native artists beginning in the 1960s. Scholder’s Indian and Store Front is part of a group of paintings that challenged perceived stereotypes by exploring Native identity within an urban context.
