Editorial Reviews

Review
"A must for the collector...bring(s) both technical knowledge and anthropological sensitivity to the work." -- Artlines Magazine

"For anyone interested in Navajo art, this book is not only important, it is essential." -- Dr. Edwin L. Wade, Deputy Director of the Museum of Northern Arizona

"This work is beautifully illustrated...provid[ing] an extensive historical perspective." -- Antiques & the Arts Weekly

Product Description
The most authoritative, beautifully illustrated history and overview on the subject of Navajo weavings.

This is the definitive book on Navajo textile art, presenting the stunning artistry of esteemed Navajo weavers in over 200 beautiful color plates and historical halftones.

Art collectors value not only the beauty of these weavings but also their investment potential, which has risen sharply in recent years. Navajo textiles are outstanding examples of both historic and contemporary primitive art, avidly sought after and collected for more than two hundred years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, January 9, 2007
By patrushka (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This book has over 200 pictures of wonderful American Indian blankets and rugs, and a detailed history and appreciation of these beautiful textiles.
Highly recommended for every home. Also a great book to share with your children and grandchildren. The younger generation can learn more about how the American Indian used their resources and creative energies. Every child should learn more about the American Indian and how they lived and survived without PSP's, TV's, IPOD's, CD's, DVD's, etc. Electronic devices break, these beautiful blankets and rugs are still here today. Do yourself a favor and buy this book for you and your family.
