Two of the most thrilling shows you are likely to see this year - both devoted to Native American art - are showing in New England. Both are filled with astounding and beautiful things. The first, at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, is “Shapeshifting: Transformations in Native American Art,’’ and will run until April 29. The second, “Native American Art at Dartmouth.’’ at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, opened last year and runs until March 11.

The Rebecca Belmore digital photograph, "The Fringe," is at PEM not Dartmouth. I viewed it there last Tuesday, January 31. Just reviewed my notes that I took. It is one of the most powerful images of art that I have viewed at a museum and that includes, Picasso's "Guernica," viewed at the MFA over 40 years ago while in college and Andrew Wyeth's, "Christina's World," also seen at the MFA. All three indelible images.
