Product Description
"NORTHWEST COAST INDIAN ART is a very beautiful book and it is also an important contribution to the fields of art and anthropology, Its most distinguished feature is the author's sensitive yet scientific approach in coming firmly to grips with elements of art which often have been considered intangible".--THE BEAVER. |

Northwest Coast Indian Art - An Analysis of Form, Friday, January 18, 2008
This is the "bible" on the principles of all of the forms used in Northwest Coast art. The forms are well documented and illustrated. This is an excellent book.

Another misleading title, Saturday, December 30, 2006
I wish I had read Bruce Hallman's review before buying this book. All the other reviews repeat the underlying error of the title and hail it as a great book about "Northwest Coast Indian Art." But turning to the map on page 3 reveals the truth: This book is about a subset of Northwest Coast Indian Art: the Northern Northwest Coast. Like I said in my cranky review of Hilary Stewart's "Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast," ever since J. E. Standley flooded the Seattle tourist market with fake Kwakiutl artwork, fake totem poles, and other hybrids of art forms from the northern coast Salish tribes, the art forms that are indigenous to our tribes here in western Washington have been all but forgotten, brushed aside by authors who chase the market with books that pretend to deal with all "of the Northwest Coast" but in reality ignore anything south of the 49th Parallel. For anybody who wants to learn about the Coast Salish art of the western Washington tribes, these books are not for you. But if you know of any books that do deal with the western Washington Coast Salish art forms, please let me know.
