5.0 out of 5 stars Knowlegeable Text and Outstanding Photography, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Tradition: Contemporary Indian Art and Its Evolution (Paperback)

This is an excellent sourcebook for those wanting to learn more about quality Native art. The information provided will help you learn about the various associations that work with Native artists as well as wonderful insights into many of the artists themselves. "Anything by Lois and Jerry Jacka" is the recommendation given in the conclusion of The Native American Indian Artist Directory (a book that gives you actual contact information, i.e. phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc.) for good reason. The quality of their work has been recognized for many years. If you attend the major Native art events in the Southwest you're likely to see them there, keeping current on the latest in Native arts. One more terrific publication from the Lois & Jerry Jacka team!

5.0 out of 5 stars One to Own, July 10, 2003

This review is from: Beyond Tradition: Contemporary Indian Art and Its Evolution (Hardcover)

Lois and Jerry Jacka do an EXCELLENT job with every project they undertake. Certainly this book is no exception. The text by Lois is insightful and well written. Jerry's photography and layout are some of the best. With an historical introduction by Clara Lee Tanner, the book is COMPLETE from Preface to page 206. Works by many of today's MASTERS are illustrated and a brief description of each item is included. The number of Native American artists is far too extensive to list, so may a half dozen suffice: Charles Loloma, Grace Medicine Flower, Rondina Huma, Jesse Monongye, Loren Phillips and Doug Hyde. There are so many more! Since the book is now OUT OF PRINT, grab a copy; it truly is one to own.
