In Becoming Mary Sully, Yale GSAS alum Philip J. Deloria excavates the extraordinary work of Dakota Sioux artist Mary Sully, whose vibrant abstract “personality prints” reimagined American celebrity and modernism through Indigenous aesthetics. Through close visual analysis and cultural history, Deloria reclaims Sully’s art from obscurity and reframes it as a bold, vision of American Indian modernity. Edward Balleisen will engage Deloria about his own career, Sully’s extraordinary life, and the challenges of piecing together Sully’s biography and artistic innovation.
