The Autry Museum of the American West’s President and CEO Richard West, Jr. says the museum aims to “confront and address outdated understandings of Native art.” Two exhibitions on now at the museum – Indian Country: The Art of David Bradley and Coyote Leaves the Res: The Art of Harry Fonseca – do just that. KUSC’s Kelsey McConnell talked to the Autry’s Vice President of Research and Interpretation, Amy Scott, about the layers of meaning in Bradley and Fonseca’s bright and alluring works.
