(1950 - Present) Stan Natchez (Shoshone-Tataviam) had an artistic epiphany when he interpreted a sheet of uncut dollar bills as ''the new buffalo hide'' and painted on it the image of a buffalo hunt. Encouraged by Andy Warhol, he soon expanded the idea to painting on pages from telephone books and on stock certificates and other documents. That cultural stamp, often involving money and the American Flag, is combined in his paintings with traditional Native American images. Upon completing his studies at the Institute of American Indian Art, Stan Natchez, earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Southern Colorado. Stan Natchez enjoys participating in Native dances and songs." *
