Regardless of discrete geographical location, culture, and faith, it is amazing how people have all made or developed art in all its types and forms. Like dance, like music, it also functions as a universal mode of expression and communication. That applies just as well with native american Indian paintings NM.
The tag on this kind of painting is pretty much a broad umbrella term. For instance, it cannot be really deduced whether it pertains to a certain kind of painting with the trappings of the theme and essence of pre and post Columbian America. It can also pertain to an artwork done by a Native American, even when the subject and theme of the painting is not related to the particular culture per se.
Modern artists sometimes create art for its own sake, simply because they are artists. Taking it all out on the canvas enables them to preserve a considerable portion of their identity, that of being an indigenous American. However, it does not follow that all American Indians paint consistent themes.
When talking about Native American art, different stereotypes come to mind. The people themselves were children of Nature, and they could have been portrayed in peaceful pre Columbian days, with depictions of unsullied environments, animal hunts, ritualistic traditions, and some such. It could even be about the other side of the picture, reminiscences of days of yore, their noble and bygone chieftains, about colonial expeditions, and about warfare.
On the other hand, you have the paintings that are tagged as such even though the painter comes from other background and ethnicity. They are moved or inspired by Native American history, which is why they choose to paint scenes and themes corresponding thereto. That is why their paintings are still dubbed as NA, even though they are not ethnically or historically related in any way. That serves to illustrate the definitional gray areas of this enterprise.
And then you have the paintings and craftworks which have been created by Natives themselves, those of bygone days. When found, they have been preserved and then displayed in museums and galleries. Thereafter, they serve as important historical articles that document the days of yore.
Therefore, galleries, museums, and even private collectors have come to prize and collect these national treasures. Some are greatly specialized in sourcing mementos from the American West, and other arts from different time periods. Collecting these handiworks, therefore, is at the same time, also an attempt to collate and preserve history.
It says so much about the influence and significance of this culture that steps have been undertaken to protect it. There is an act that prosecutes those who pass of fake crafts as genuine. It catalogs a list of Native American artists, and gives off descriptions and illustrations of native art forms, as well as photos, backgrounds, and reviews of contemporary artists. They give links to artist pages and relevant art cooperatives, and gives general directories of tribes, paintings, crafts, and others.
In the end, whatever our purposes, art functions may be zeroed down to basics. They all serve to draw out feelings and sentiments. They offer education, insights, mementos, inspiration, and yet other singular feelings, particular to the individual. As a universal mode of expression, they transcend places and cultures and touch down on our basic human identity.
