Bob Haozous is one of the most important Native sculptors of the Native American Fine Art Movement. His innovation and experimentations with materials pushes the boundaries of "Indian" art; the boundaries that his father, Allan Houser, helped to define. He is best know for his monumental cut steel pieces which often deal with poignant topical issues. He approaches these issues with a bit of a bite and a good dose of humor. His injection of humor allows the serious issues to be more palatable and to have a universal presence.

Haozous has chosen to take back his Apache family name to reject the Anglo version - Houser. This name was given to his father as a child in an Oklahoma Indian boarding school. Together Haozous and Houser represent the breath and depth of Native American sculpture. Haozous has been able to establish himself as a leading artist because of his father's encouragement and nurturing. As well, Haozous has encouraged and supported his father's work.
