Fritz Scholder: Diversity of Brilliance Fritz Scholder holds a pivotal place in American art history, celebrated for radically reshaping how Native Americans were represented in contemporary art. His rise to prominence began in the mid-1960s while teaching at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, where he became a driving force behind a bold redefinition of Native identity in visual culture. Rejecting the stereotypical depictions of Indigenous people as either noble savages or violent warriors, Scholder sought to “paint the Indian real, not red,” aiming to confront romanticized myths with raw, contemporary truths. His early paintings exposed the gap between the lived experiences of Native Americans and the idealized, often misleading images that had dominated Western art.

Though these innovative and controversial works were watershed moments in American art history and provided Scholder fame and financial success, there came a critical point in his career when he determined to begin what would be a wide-ranging and enormously diverse exploration of other subjects that burned in his imagination. As this exhibition, entitled Diversity of Brilliance, illustrates, these subjects include imagined figures about personal identity, mythological beliefs and the archetypes they contain, as well as ideas about the occult, death and the afterlife.

The exhibition showcases the depth and range of his artistic vision. Through paintings and works on paper, Scholder moves beyond surface appearances to explore the deeper mysteries of the human psyche. His work spans a spectrum

of expression—from subtle, dreamlike imagery to enigmatic, phantasmagoric figures and shamanic spiritual archetypes—each revealing a unique facet of his complex inner world.

Fascinated by magic, dreams, and the extraordinary powers of superheroes, Scholder used these motifs as gateways to explore enduring themes: good and evil, mysticism, the afterlife. Though his mark-making often pulses with tension, his work also possesses a raw elegance and a refined mastery of craft. His bold, vibrant use of color injects a sense of vitality and optimism into even his most intense and haunting narratives. As Pulitzer Prize–winning Indigenous writer N. Scott Momaday once said, “Scholder did not lift the spirits, he awoke them.”

Central to many of Scholder’s figural works is the distorted figure—an expressive, non-naturalistic approach informed by his admiration for artists like Francis Bacon, Edvard Munch, and Nathan Oliveira. This form of figural distortion served as a tool for psychological and emotional exploration, allowing Scholder to dig into complex questions of identity. As his interests expanded beyond the socio-political, he began turning toward more esoteric subjects: mysticism, good and evil, spirituality, and the supernatural. In this shift, the contorted figure took on new meaning—not as a response to cultural representation, but as a vehicle for personal, metaphysical inquiry. The works in this exhibition demonstrate Scholder’s facility with this visual language, revealing how distortion became a signature element in his evolving spiritual and aesthetic journey. continued on pg 6 3

Fritz Scholder: Diversity of Brilliance Driven by an insatiable intellectual curiosity, Scholder was fascinated by the unknown. He viewed painting as a kind of magic—paradoxical, mysterious, and revelatory. Mythology, ancient belief systems, and the metaphysical world captured his imagination from a young age, inspiring him to invent private, imaginary realms. One of his deepest and most enduring fascinations was with ancient Egyptian culture—particularly its reverence for animals as deities and the opulent splendor of altars, icons, and tomb reliefs. He even considered becoming an Egyptologist before fully committing to art. These mythic and symbolic systems would later find their way into his work, not as literal representations but as guiding structures for a deeper investigation into the unknown.

The mystery of the afterlife is one of humanity’s oldest preoccupations, and it profoundly influenced Scholder’s thinking. Influences are present in his work ranging from ancient civilizations such as the Greeks who envisioned elaborate worlds beyond death—Elysium, Hades, – to the Christian concept of purgatory— each offering a moral or spiritual lesson through metaphor. These stories for Scholder were not merely religious but existential, offering insight into human nature and the eternal search for meaning. Scholder’s engagement with such themes can be seen as part of a personal odyssey—akin to Dante, or Homer’s Odyssey or Virgil’s Aeneid—where the journey into darkness is necessary for revelation. Like Odysseus or Aeneas, Scholder ventured inward, into the underworld of the self, to retrieve wisdom and transcendence. His work resonates with this archetypal quest, transforming myth into modern allegory.

6

Throughout his career, Scholder remained a traveler—both physically and intellectually. His voracious reading and wide-ranging travels fed his imagination and deepened the conceptual layers in his work. “My life and work are inseparable,” he once said. “My ideas come from living, traveling, and collecting.” In a statement for a 1985 exhibition, he described painting as a private, autobiographical act: “The results are recorded gestures and marks pertaining to the mystery around us.”

At the heart of Scholder’s practice was a constant negotiation between the external world and his internal reality. While his work often drew upon cultural, historical, and mythical references, it remained deeply introspective, rooted in his personal experience of being both insider and outsider—part Native American, yet critical of how Native identity was packaged and perceived. This dual perspective gave his art its edge: he could both inhabit and deconstruct the symbols he employed. Scholder’s paintings resist easy classification, existing instead in a liminal space where irony, vulnerability, confrontation, and reverence all coexist. Through this tension, which is clearly evident in this dramatic exhibition, he crafted a body of work that feels at once timeless and urgently present, challenging viewers to question what they think they know— not just about Native identity or art history, but about belief, mortality, and the act of seeing itself.
