Born on the Flathead Reservation in Montan, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is a prominent Native American artist and "cultural art worker." The American Landscape brings together images and symbols from modern life all whirling under the watchful eye of a native onlooker. The artist writes about the larger context of meaning:
"The American landscape is undergoing constant change by political and corporate economic agendas impacting the natural world and creating an assemblage of a nuclear admixture. Some scientists believe that eventually humans will self-immolate, thus leaving the planet to the surviving insects, like perhaps the cockroachesö. American Landscape is the product of a collaboration between the artist and master printers at Tamarind Institute in New Mexico. Founded in 1960 in Los Angeles, Tamarind has been affiliated with the Unveristy of New Mexico’s College of Fine Arts since 1970. Tamarind Institute, committed to sustaining and expanding collaborative fine art lithography, offers a professional training program for printers, collaborative lithography workships for artists, printers and teachers, and publishes fine art prints in collaboration with artists of national and international reputation."

- 21st Century
- collage (technique) - Refers to the technique of making compositions in two dimensions or very low relief by gluing paper, fabrics, photographs, or other materials onto a flat surface. If heavy three-dimensional objects dominate, see "assemblage (sculpture technique)." If the constituent fragments form a somewhat unified image, see "montage."
- collages (visual works) - Refers to works produced by the technique of collage. If photographs dominate the composition, use "photocollages."
- color lithographs - Lithographs printed in several colors.
- color lithography - Printing by lithography using a separate stone or plate for each color.
- Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
- lithographs - Prints made using the process of lithography, which is a planographic printing process in which a design is deposited on the stone or plate with a greasy substance which will accept ink.
- lithography - Planographic printing process in which a design is deposited on the stone or plate with a greasy substance and the surface is chemically treated to accept ink only in the greasy areas.
- Native American - Typically refers to the culture of the aboriginal peoples of the western hemisphere, particularly the native peoples of North America, excluding the Eskimos and Aleuts. It may also be used more broadly to refer to the culture of any native peoples of North America, Central America, South America, or the West Indies who are considered to belong to the Mongoloid division of the human species. In usage in the United States, the term "Amerindian" is often used for this broader meaning, with "Native American" reserved for the cultures of the native peoples of the United States and Canada, excluding the Eskimos and Aleuts. Indigenous peoples of Canada use the term "First Nations" to refer to their own communities; they often use it in a broader sense to refer to all indigenous peoples of the Americas.
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
