Download or read book American Indian Painting of the Southwest and Plains Areas written by Dorothy Dunn and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Southwestern Indians, painting was a natural part of all the arts and ceremonies through which they expressed their perception of the universe and their sense of identification with nature. It was wholly lacking in individualism, included no portraits, singled out no artists. But the roving life of the Plains Indians produced a more personal art. Their painted hides were records of an individual's exploits intended, not to supplicate or appease unearthly powers, but to gain prestige within the tribe and proclaim invincibility to an enemy. Plains painting served man-to-man relationships, Southwestern painting those of man to nature, man to God. Such characteristics, and the ways they persist in contemporary Indian painting, are documented by the 157 examples Miss Dunn has chosen to illustrate her story. Thirty-three of these pictures, in full color, are here published for the first time.

Download or read book Hero Hawk and Open Hand written by Richard F. Townsend and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along the Ohio, Tennessee, and Mississippi Rivers, the archaeological remains of earthen pyramids, plazas, large communities, and works of art and artifacts testify to Native American civilizations that thrived there between 3000 B.C. and A.D. 1500. This fascinating book presents exciting new information on the art and cultures of these ancient peoples and features hundreds of gorgeous photographs of important artworks, artifacts, and ritual objects excavated from Amerindian archaeological sites. Drawing on excavation findings and extensive research, the contributors to the book document a succession of distinct ancient populations in the pre-Columbian world of the American Midwest and Southeast. A team of interdisciplinary scholars examines the connections between archaeological remains of different regions and the themes, forms, and rituals that continue in specific tribes of today. The book also includes the personal reflections of contemporary Native Americans who discuss their perspectives on the significance of the fascinating and beautiful prehistoric artifacts as well as their own cultural practices today.
Download or read book Native America Collected written by Margaret Denise Dubin and published by Albuquerque, N. M. : University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I argue for a history of Native American art that is politically informed," Margaret Dubin writes, "and for a criticism of contemporary Native American fine arts that is historically founded." Integrating ethnography, discourse analysis, and social theory in a careful mapping of the Native American art world, this insightful new study explores the landscape of 'intercultural spaces' -- the physical and philosophical arenas in which art collectors, anthropologists, artists, historians, curators, and critics struggle to control the movement and meaning of art objects created by Native Americans. Dubin examines the ideas and interactions involved in contemporary collecting, in particular, to understand how marketplace demands have homogenised Western perceptions of 'authentic' Native American art. In doing so, she reveals the power relations of an art world in which Native American artists work within and against a larger system that seeks to control people by manipulating objects.
Download or read book Objects of Myth and Memory written by Diana Fane and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the first decade of the 20th century, the Brooklyn Museum set the standard for the acquisition and display of Native American art. In many ways, this book is a tribute to Stewart Culin, the museum's founding Curator of Ethnology, who remains legendary in the field for his enlightened acquisition of thousands of American Indian objects for Brooklyn's collection. The book's layout is excellent, beginning with an analysis and appreciation of the work of Culin and followed by examples and photographs of his early displays at the Brooklyn Museum. Four sections follow in a geographical breakdown of Indian art and the societies that produced it. The excellent Brooklyn collections are mostly in color and join the text in creating a fine catalog of Indian craft that is art. Recommended for academic, museum, and public library collections."--Library Journal viewed on Amazon.com June 24, 2020
