Description: "We are proud to publish this book focusing on Jack Malotte's impressive career.  It is published in conjunction with the exhibition 'Jack Malotte: Sagebrush Heathen', presented at the Nevada Museum of Art from June 8-October 20, 2019.  The exhibition was curated by Ann M. Wolfe, Andrea and John C. Deane Family Senior Curator and Deputy Director"--Preface (unnumbered page 7).

"Jack Malotte makes artworks that celebrate the landscapes of the Great Basin, with a unique focus on contemporary political issues faced by Native people seeking to protect and preserve access to their lands. Malotte infuses wry humor into his work, even as he delves into subject matter that is sometimes serious and sobering. Malotte's most recent work reconsiders historical narratives and myths of the American West, refers to Western Shoshone and Washoe traditions and legends, and highlights longtime political, environmental, and legal struggles of Native communities.  For many years Malotte produced graphics and illustrations for the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples, Inc., the Western Shoshone Sacred Lands Association, and the Southwest Network for Environmental and Economic Justice. This work will be on view alongside drawings, sketches, and prints from early in his career.  During his exhibition at the Nevada Museum of Art, Malotte will complete an outdoor, public mural on an exterior wall of the building"--Nevada Museum of Art website (viewed September 7, 2019).
