Gallery Gathering: Fritz Scholder’s Diptych

Our inaugural Gallery Gathering will focus on Diptych, by Fritz Scholder. An enrolled member of the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians, Scholder was an interdisciplinary artist and educator who sought to deconstruct stereotypes of Indigenous American identities and artistic styles with works that embraced the influences of abstraction, expressionism, and pop art. Scholder’s Diptych is one of five artworks by Indigenous American artists that are newly on loan to the KIA from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
