description: Overview Tommy Wayne "T.C". Cannon was to the world of contemporary Native American art what James Dean was to American movie culture. Here is a chronicle of the words and work of the man regarded as the most eloquent and innovative of contemporary Native American artists. A 1996 Oklahoma Book Award finalist. Killed in a car accident in 1978 at the age of 31, Cannon is regarded as the Native American artist who changed the direction of traditional Indian art to the "New Wave" movement that characterizes Indian art today. Author Frederick shares stories about Cannon in the words of his friends and family members, but more importantly, the reader is given the artist's own view through his remarkable art (65 color reproductions, 25 b&amp;w, and 40 sketches), and the songs, poems, and musings of his sketchbooks. 10.5x9.75" Annotation c.
