Description
Native art on the Northwest Coast is very much alive and increasing in both artistry and volume. Wonderful work is being done for ceremony and sale, and galleries are filled with exciting recreations of traditional tribal masks. This new entry in native art publications is brimming with over 400 color photographs of recent artwork selected with the collector in mind. Many pieces are shown from several sides and the back. The book features master carvers as well as younger artists who previously have had limited exposure. The text serves as a guide to help the viewer better understand the complex society, its marvelous artwork, and current values.
