Fritz Scholder was an American painter known for figurative work that engaged with Native American imagery and identity during the postwar period. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, he developed a distinctive approach that combined expressionist brushwork with representational subject matter. His paintings often depicted Native American subjects with psychological complexity and formal rigor, resisting both ethnographic cliché and abstract reduction. Scholder's work occupied a contested but significant position in mid-twentieth-century American painting.
