American artist Allan Houser, who lived in the 20th century, is renowned for using sculpture and painting to explore his Native American ancestry.
Houser, a Chiricahua Apache, combined traditional themes with modernist aesthetics to create a distinctive abstract figural style. Let’s talk about his kids in this article.
Allan Houser was born on June 30, 1914, into the Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache tribe to Sam and Blossom Haozous on their family farm near Apache and Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
