Archive Label 2003: The Spencer Museum owns nine prints by painter/printmaker Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, a leading contemporary American artist. Smith’s works are often complex compositions that refer both to Anglo and Indian American subjects and art styles, and that often draw sardonic humor from the juxtaposition of the two cultures. The prints exhibited here employ abstract designs, words, images, and textures.
