Description
The major essay by renowned art historian J. J. Brody traces the improvement of southwestern pottery from the prehistoric Anasazi through up to date Pueblo. A section on pottery technology examines the several types of clays and details the pottery-makings process. Rebecca Allen has contributed an essay at the history of the Museum’s southwestern collection, providing insights into the personalities of the collectors and the ways their preferences affected the contents in their collections. The catalogue features a compendium of the 104 objects within the exhibition, each and every accompanied by a photograph.
