The Gorman Museum of Native American Art showcases art from Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians
On display until Aug. 31 at the Gorman Museum of Native American Art
The solo-exhibition Olé Ham Nees: We Call Him Coyote features the artwork of Harry Fonseca drawn from the Shingle Springs Band Collection. Harry (1946-2006) was born in Sacramento of Nisenan Maidu, Hawaiian, and Portuguese heritage, and was an enrolled citizen of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.
The exhibition, running from Feb. 12 through Aug. 31, considers multiple series and stylistic shifts from Fonseca’s earliest pieces reflecting his Nisenan Maidu heritage, the Coyote series for which he is most recognized, the influences of rock art in Stone Poems, the political views of Discovery of Gold and Souls in California, to the abstraction and examination of painting in the Stripes and Seasons series.
The museum is located at 181 Old Davis Road, Davis, on the UC Davis campus. This exhibition is sponsored by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Art Museum Futures Fund and the UC Davis College of Letters and Science.
