Kevin Red Star

Kevin Red Star (born 1943) is a Crow artist from Lodge Grass, Montana, whose vivid paintings and prints celebrate Crow life and ceremony with bold colors and graphic intensity. He attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe — one of its first students — before going on to earn a fine arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute. Red Star's paintings draw on photographic documentation of nineteenth-century Crow culture, animating historic dress, regalia, and ceremony in contemporary compositions of striking visual power. His work is collected internationally and shown in Scottsdale and Santa Fe galleries.
