Changing Images: The Art & Artists of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School is divided into three sections: illustrating the early drawings from 1879 to 1890; art done as the students were taught European techniques in classroom art instruction; and art created in the early 1900s when it was popular to uphold and encourage Indian art. Filled with fabulous color reproductions of the art of the students while they attended the Indian School, this limited edition is a study of cultural changes and the effects they had on the students.
