Traces the life of the Navajo artist, including his experiences as a code talker for the Marines in World War II, and looks at his paintings and watercolors. The book is exceptionally well researched, documented, and written with great understanding and sympathy. Some photographs are remarkable examples of the mastery of his idiom, The art world badly needs provocative, sophisticated, historical writers on Indian art of the Greenberg's caliber. The book will stand as a welcome addition to Native American Art history. The author is believed to be the Henry F. Greenberg was born on February 28, 1912 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was a writer and producer, known for Alcoa Premiere (1961), Shirley Temple's Storybook (1958) and Peter Gunn (1958). He died on December 25, 2002. The book jacket notes he was a veteran motion picture and television writer. Georgia Greenberg was a professional photographer. Dr. Carl Nelson Gorman, also known as Kin-Ya-Onny-Beyeh (1907-1998) was a Navajo code talker, visual artist, painter, illustrator, and professor. He was faculty at the University of California, Davis, from 1950 until 1973. During World War II, Gorman served as a code talker with the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific. In April 1942, Gorman was one of 29 Navajo men recruited by the United States Marine Corps to create a code based on the Navajo language. The Navajo code talkers fought and deployed the code in every campaign from Guadalcanal through the Occupation of Japan. Gorman served in four campaigns: Guadalcanal, Saipan, Tinian, and Tarawa. The Navajo code was formally developed and modeled on the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet that uses agreed-upon English words to represent letters or other meanings. The Japanese were never able to crack the Navajo-based encryption. In 1945, Gorman was honorably discharged as Private First Class. After the war, Gorman studied art at the Otis Art Institute (now Otis College of Art and Design), on the G.I. Bill. In 1949, Gorman was worked as an illustrator in Los Angeles, including technical illustration work for Douglas Aircraft Company. In 1950, he joined the faculty at UC Davis, where he remained until 1973. Gorman helped in the formation of the Native American Studies Department, as well as in the creation of a Native American art studio workshop. In 1969, the Native American Studies Department at UC Davis was formed under the name Tehcumseh Center, Gorman was one of the first faculty. Around 1973, Gorman and his wife Mary moved to Gallup, New Mexico where he worked on many community-based projects; including directing the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild, he founded the Navajo Code Talkers Association, worked on an oral history project with Navajo elders, and taught classes at both Navajo Community College (now Diné College) and University of New Mexico-Gallup. His artwork is included in the permanent museum collections of the C. N. Gorman Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian. In addition to the many public and private collections of Gorman's work, the Gorman Family has an extensive collection of his artworks, notes, and other ephemera. The Michael Gorman Gallery in Taos, New Mexico, regularly includes rare artwork by the late Carl N. Gorman.
