Lloyd Kiva New: A New Century

By Tony R Chavarria, Ryan S. Flahive, Flahive Ryan S.

This catalogue commemorates the life of Lloyd Kiva New, artist, fashion designer, and renowned arts educator. Always a trailblazer, from his early years as a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, Lloyd New held a deep and abiding appreciation for both his Cherokee and Scots-Irish cultural heritage. This book considers his legacy and influence--as a Native pioneer in fashion design, entrepreneurship, and cultural art education--at the Santa Fe Indian School and as co-founder of the Institute of American Indian Arts. Essays provide biographical information, tracing New's roots in Oklahoma, his time as a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, as a young art teacher in the Southwest, his service in the US Navy during World War II, and New's remarkable breakout as a handbag and clothing designer.
