Albert Harjo

Albert Harjo was born in 1937, deep within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in the rural area of Hanna, Oklahoma. Albert attended Jones Academy, Hartshorne,Oklahoma then later Chilocco Indian school just outside Ponca City,Oklahoma. After graduating from Chilocco, Albert enlisted and served in the United States Marine Corps.

Albert's subject matter derives from his own life experiences as well those of neighbors, friends and family. Albert paints in the very unforgiving style considered by most disciples of Native American art as "traditional", there is no erasing or covering up.Albert's award winning, traditional and "genuine" art can be found in museums, galleries and private collections throughout Eastern Oklahoma, United States and abroad.
