A Must Buy For Navajo Weaving Enthusiasts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Navajo Pictorial Weaving, 1880-1950 (Paperback)
This book is more than just great pictures-of which there are many.It provides an excellent history lesson on the introduction of figural elements in Navajo weaving, including the stories behind the popular Yei, Yeibichais and sandpainting weavings. There are 170 full-color examples of weavings that illustrate this book, comprising one of the most difinitive surveys of pictorial weavings. The book is boken out into nine sections, such as "Birds, Flora, Fauna", and gives an imformative look at each style's evolution. The authors also reviews the impact Western civilization has had on weaving styles, including the introduction of trains, cars and buidlings. It has helped me date rugs in my own collection as well as those I've considered purchasing. It really is a "must buy" for rug enthusiasts.
