The Autry's debut solo exhibition drawn from its acquisition of the estate of Harry Fonseca (Nisenan Maidu, Hawaiian, Portuguese, 1946–2006), featuring 60 paintings, sketches, and lithographs selected from a collection of over 500 works. Organized into four thematic sections, the exhibition traced Fonseca's use of Coyote — the archetypal trickster figure — as both personal avatar and cultural commentary, exploring his identity as a Native artist and gay man navigating a world where representations of Indigenous peoples were too often shaped by outside forces. Vibrant, boundary-defying, and deeply personal, Fonseca's work moved fluidly between traditional Maidu visual culture, European modernism, and pointed satire — expanding the definition of American Indian art in ways that continue to resonate.
