Abstract

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is currently hosting an exhibition titled "Mary Sully: Native Modern," which showcases the artwork of Mary Sully, a Native American woman. Sully's art, which consists of over 100 images done in colored pencil or graphite on paper, was discovered in 2006 and has since been restored. The exhibition divides Sully's work into two categories: "personality prints," which depict figures from American popular culture, and images that explore native themes and social issues. Sully's art reflects a sense of irony, social justice, and Native wit, and offers a unique perspective on American culture. [Extracted from the article]
