Many contemporary Indigenous painters practice a specifically Indigenous mode of abstraction; for example, Dyani White Hawk assembles compositions out of motifs common in the beadwork and other traditional arts of her tribe. In contrast, the prominent Indigenous practitioners of abstract painting during the mid-twentieth century, such as the Luiseño artist Fritz Scholder, typically aligned their compositional strategies with Abstract Expressionism-a school of painting dominated by European American artists-instead of with traditionally nonrepresentational forms of Indigenous art. Thus, in the case of Scholder's generation, the identification of an abstract painting as Indigenous art tends to ________

place a greater emphasis on the artist's biography than on the aesthetic merit of the painting.

obscure the Indigenous origins of certain motifs associated with Abstract Expressionism.

depend not on stylistic details but instead on an awareness of the artist's identity.

deny the extent to which cultural identity influences an artist's work.
