An impressive array of Native American artistry,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keeping the Spirit Alive: American Indian Art from the Dr. and Mrs. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. Collection (Paperback)
In Keeping The Spirit Alive, Bonnie Kahn and Mary Schlick effectively collaborate to showcase an impressive array of Native American artistry and craftsmanship using items found in the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Robert B. Pamlin, Jr. Color photography of clothing, domestic items, personal adornments, and articles used for battle are all augmented by informative captions. More than ninety items are included and document the continuity of Native American artistry over the past two hundred years down to the present day. Keeping The Spirit Alive is a unique and highly recommended addition to any personal or academic Native American studies and art history collections.
