Ledger Drawings

Rhéanne Chartrand, Curator of Indigenous Art at the McMaster Museum of Art, provides a 1 minute answer to the question, "What are ledger drawings?"
Rhéanne and Gerald McMaster are co-curators of the exhibition Peripheral Vision(s) on view at McMaster Museum of Art until December 20. This exhibition sparks a visual dialogue between 19th century ledger drawings by Northern Plains warrior-artists and the lithographic prints of 20th century American artists Leonard Baskin and Fritz Scholder. The exhibition and related programming are supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
