This excellent work presents masterpieces of basketry, weaving, and pottery, all of which reflect the bold designs and strong traditions of Southwest Indian artists. The works illustrated are from art collections of eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century Apache, Hopi, Havasupai, Pima, and Navajo artists using traditional materials and methods. More than 60 high-quality, full-color and black-and-white photographs depict art objects such as ceremonial rug blankets, ritual baskets, and water jars, as well as breathtaking vistas of the southwestern landscape. Well-written essays by scholars and art historians discuss construction methods and the people involved in the art.
