Product Review
"The best guide yet to understanding the complexities of Native North American art.a solidly ground, sophisticated history, combining art history, anthropology, and cultural studiessplendidly well-writtenuseful and timely."--Gerald McMaster, Curator of Art, Canadian Museum of Civilization
Product Description
This exciting new investigation explores the indigenous arts of the US and Canada from the early pre-contact period to the present day, stressing the conceptual and iconographic continuities over five centuries and across an immensely diverse range of regions. The richness of Native American
art is emphasized through discussions of basketry, wood and rock carvings, dance masks, and beadwork, alongside the contemporary vitality of paintings and installations by modern artists such as Robert Davidson, Emmi Whitehorse, and Alex Janvier. Authors Berlo and Philips fully incorporate
substantive new research and scholarship, and examine such issues as gender, representation, the colonial encounter, and contemporary arts. By encompassing both the sacred and secular, political and domestic, the ceremonial and commercial, Native North American Art shows the importance of the visual
arts in maintaining the integrity of spiritual, social , political, and economic systems within Native North American societies.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Native North American Art (Oxford History of Art) (Hardcover)
one book can only give the reader a brief overview of the wealth of american indian art. the traditional art (i don't acknowledge a split between art and craft) was produced by all the nations, spans pre-historic and historic eras, and has been collected for centuries. the contemporary art is flourishing and much is breathtaking. that being said, this book does a wonderful job of covering such an immense subject. the only complaint i have is the relative paucity of photos. but i would feel that way if the book were nothing but photos.
