About Me
- Allan Houser
- Allan Houser ( June 29, 1914 - August 221994) was one of the most renowned Native American painters and Modernist sculptors of the 20th century. Born of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe, a Chiricahua Apache tribe in Oklahoma, Houser's work can be found at the United Nations building in New York City, at the US National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and in other public buildings throughout the US capital. From humble beginnings came a man who took on two of the great conversations of his time – the Native American experience, and the challenges posed by abstract modernism – and forged a new way of seeing both visions.
