Description

Spectacular photographs of the breathtaking beautiful objects and sensitive portraits of the artists combine with an insightful, informative text to capture the spirit of this work and the essential cultures from which it springs.
This ground-breaking volume opens by surveying the vividly colored necklaces, earrings, and pins made in shell and stone from prehistoric times to the current, particularly within the Santo Domingo and Zuni pueblos. The point of interest then shifts to the much-admired and avidly collected work in silver — steadily set with turquoise and other stones — by Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni artists. The book culminates in an exploration of striking latest work during which many artists have adapted traditional approaches to create original designs. A collector’s guide offers invaluable advice in addition to an illustrated thesaurus of fabrics, techniques, objects, and designs. A nationwide directory of sources concludes the book.
