  • Indian Art of the United States was an exhibition of Native American art mounted at the Museum of Modern Art (New York) in 1941. Curated by Frederic Huntington Douglas, then curator of Indian art at the Denver Art Museum and Rene d'Harnoncourt, then director of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, this exhibition "filled the entire gallery space of the Museum of Modern Art with Indian works...and constituted the first full-scale exhibition of Indian art in a major American art museum." Janet Berlo, scholar of Native American art, called this exhibition a "museological landmark, both for its imprimatur it gave to Native art, and for its cutting edge modern installation techniques, in which Native art was elegantly presented."
