Larry Bird (artist)

Lawrence A. "Larry" Bird or Larry Littlebird (born 1941) is a Kewa Pueblo/Laguna Pueblo painter, filmmaker, actor and writer from Santo Domingo, New Mexico. He has utilized ink and tempera in his works, which often display a loose, abstracted style. Bird has exhibited his artwork across the country and has works in the public collections of several institutions including the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.

Bird first attended the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) for design in 1963. He worked for a time at the Museum of New Mexico and was the recipient of an Interior Design (magazine) Award for Painting. In 1971, a critic called Bird's painting "Son Returning Home" "one of the finest combinations of contemporary art and Indian heritage," saying the painting displayed "great grace and power."

Bird returned to the IAIA in the 1980s as an instructor. He later began working in the performing arts as a filmmaker, producer, writer and actor, and was one of the first Native American artists to create films about Native people.
