Allan Houser:
An American Story
by Kathryn M Davis
Allan Houser (1914–1994) is one of the most important twentieth-century sculptors to have emerged in the United States. His story is indelibly grounded in his Native roots. With Houser, the chronicle of the Apache people contributes to an art history that is uniquely and insistently American. No one artist has impacted so many subsequent generations of Native American sculptors simply by remaining true to his own identity as did Allan Houser.
... In 1914, in Fort Sill, Sam and Blossom Haozous (pronounced HOW-zuss) gave birth to the first freeborn member of their family, and one of the first of the whole Warm Springs band, a son they named Allan. Distantly related to the great Chiricahua warrior Geronimo, Allan grew up proud of the traditions of his people....
