Summary
Bill Reid was at the forefront of the modern-day renaissance of Northwest Coast Native art, but his art, and his life, was not without controversy. Born to a partly Haida mother and a father of German and Scottish descent, his… public persona as a Haida Indian seems to have been as much a product of journalists, art patrons, museum curators, and others in the non-Native establishment as of Bill Reid himself. Reid's art also arose from the tension that existed between his Native and white artistic perceptions. 2003.
