#ManCrushMonday #MenBeingCivilBadAssesEdition Vincent Price's Contribution to Native Americans and Their Art

While comfortable as the aristocratic gentleman and the master of horror, it was more than obvious Vincent Price had many hobbies. In 1951, he opened The Vincent Price Art Museum. He was a gourmet chef. He wrote books on art, criticism, and recipes, but there is a certain subset on his fascination with art that does not immediately go on his epitaph next to the voice on the Michael Jackson penned "Thriller" or a horror film actor.

"In 1957, Vincent was asked to become a dollar-a-year man for the United States government. "I was invited to be on the Indian Arts and Crafts Board [...]. All appointments were nonpartisan and our only recommendation was our interest in the American Indian. In other words, we were to try to find markets for their work, try to put them in touch with people who would give them a break. I was very excited because I was the only person on the board who had publicity value, because I was an actor."

"I was appointed under the Eisenhower administration [...] which is kind of surprising since I am a Democrat." [...] Vincent was appointed to three five-year terms; for the last, from 1967 to 1972, he was named chairman." (Vincent Price, a Daughter's Biography. Victoria Price, 2014)
