Houser, an Apache Indian, was born in 1914 and was the first child born in freedom after his tribe was released from 27 years of captivity by the United States Government. His father, Sam Haozous, had surrendered with the Chiricahua Apache Chief Geronimo in 1886. He grew up listening to his father’s tales of growing up on the warpath and also heard him sing Geronimo’s medicine songs These experiences had a profound impact on Houser and later imbued his artwork with his unique Apache heritage.

An artist who is known throughout the world, Allan Houser’s work is part of such collections as those of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Dahlem Museum in Berlin, the Royal family of Great Britain, the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

Allan Houser was the recipient of the Palmes d’ Academique of France as well as two Guggenheim Fellowships. President George H. Bush presented him with our nation’s most prestigious award to artists, the National Medal of Arts, in 1992.
