One of the most important American artists of the 20th century, Chiricahua Apache sculptor, painter and educator Allan Houser left an enduring legacy. Bob Haozous (Houser's son) is interviewed. “Allan was a person who truly believed in the goodness of his fellow man and used the narrative of his work to talk about his own people and to talk about mankind.” Chiricahua Apache sculptor, Allan Houser worked tirelessly to create works that reflect his heritage and spoke to an international audience. “He was evolving into his own form of an abstract way of thinking.” Santa Fe tinsmith and author Maurice Dixon shares his passion for the history and art of New Mexico tinsmithing. “Almost all these tinsmiths were trained as practical tinsmiths, they made cups, they made gutter pipes. But in the hands of a few tinsmiths they went beyond their training, they were artists.”—Maurice Dixon (tinsmith and author).
