The most comprehensive presentation of the visual arts of the Indian ever to appear in book form, based upon the resources of the Heye Foundation's Museum of the American Indian and the collection of Americana compiled by the Carnegie Corporation, with significant additions from museums throughout the country.
The magnificent art and decorative craftsmanship of the Indian tribes of North America appear in all of their colorful variety and complexity in this superb volume. Examples are included of the work of every major region in the areas now comprising the United States and Canada, of most of the numerically important or artistically pre-eminent tribes, and of all of the major techniques employed by Indian artists. Much of the material has never before been published and represents a deliberate effort to present less well-known masterpieces previously overlooked.
No reader of this book can long continue in a mi hension of the stereotyped image of 'the Indian. The sard cultures which developed on the North Americi con -from the Eskimo hunters of the Arctic League of the Iroquois, and from the Puechiv pacurandits to the nomads of the Great Plains-are all represented. Fach found its own ways of using available natural rurter for utilitarian objects, for religious and ritual purposes, or for sheer aesthetic pleasure. The book abounds in beautiful examples of characteristic shell and quill work, pottery and weaving, deer and buffalo hide painting, carved stone pipes and tomahawks so commonly associated with Indian cultures.
Less familiar are illustrations of mysterious stone effigy sculptures from the death-cults of the ancient Southeast; sophisticated carvings in stone and ivory from the Midwest; elaborate horse-trappings and costuming from the Great Plains, and a fascinating variety of masks.
