While several Western artists began their careers in modern art and moved to realism (see Harry Jackson), Allan Houser moved in the opposite direction. The Chiricahua Apache artist originally started as a painter at the Santa Fe Indian Art School, where founder Dorothy Dunn encouraged artistic conformity from her students. On his own, Houser immediately began working in three dimensions in a more contemporary style. By the end of his career, he was exploring abstract shapes and complex visual themes, and had fully embraced modern art. This work, created in 1993, represents a trio of blanket-clad figures.
