Інформація для замовлення
This timely book surveys the artistic traditions of indigenous North America,
from those of ancient cultures to the work of modern artists. The text is
organized geographically, covering tribes as wide-ranging as the Navajo,
Cheyenne, Chumash, Tsimshian and Inuit, and draws upon Native American history,
the testimonies of oral tradition and the latest research in North American
archaeology.
Native American art is often discussed simply as a cultural production, but this
book focuses as much as possible on the individual artists, their roles in
society, and the cultural and social contexts of the objects they created,
whether ‘traditional’, ‘tourist’ or contemporary. The author also examines the
tension between artistic practices that have spanned thousands of years and the
startlingly fresh innovations that have resulted from historical circumstance.
