Luminous and not-so-ephemeral-anymore work by @geraldclarkeart exhibited at @psartmuseum. I was just reminded of the conservative argument against funding the arts in general and the NEA in particular, which often included a dismissive comment about “basket weaving.” I don’t know a lot about basket weaving as a craft or art form in history. But this piece has so much more meaning to me today as it relates to how contemporary art has become more popular and known to the general public over the years. . . . . . #geraldclarke #geraldclarkejr #continuumbasket #nativeamericanart #nativeamerican #palmspringsartmuseum #contemporaryart #indigenousart #nativeamericanbasket #basketweaving #clayvessal #cahuilla #cahuillaart #effigyvessel #mojaveart #basketart #contemporaryartist #palmsprings #igpalmsprings #igerspalmsprings #museumfromhome #psartmuseum #psamathome #museumlover #museums #artmuseum #musee #igerscalifornia #socalmuseums #artforall @palmspringsinstagram @palmsprings @palmspringslifemagazine @modernism_week @heytripster (at Palm Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfsH1YlNYJ/?igshid=13tjkpxd9iypv
