Vintage 1965 First Edition American Indian Art by Norman Feder Hardcover Book

Vintage first edition American Indian Art by Norman Feder hardcover.  - The dynamic art and fine craftsmanship of the North American Indian are often considered expressions of an interesting by vanishing primitive culture. Yet the high degree of sophistication of much of this art, the endless variations of motifs, and the sheer aesthetic beauty of many of these works warrant continual reconsideration. This volume is a study of the whole range of artistic expression of these vital peoples - the pottery and silverwork of the Pueblos of the Southwest, the wooden masks of the Eskimo and the Tlingit, the beadwork of the Plains and Pacific Plateau tribes and the basketry of the California natives, to name only a few.  - First edition published by Harry N.
