Petroglyphs : Sabra Moore,
By Martin Barco (Lima, Peru) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Petroglyphs: Ancient Language, Sacred Art (Hardcover)
It is a good book to read and enjoy. To me Sabra Moore's book, in which texts and drawings mingle harmoniously, has given a well-informed and concise overview of the North American rock art. In addition, I think that having the viewpoint from an artist's eye is useful to understand beyond the intellect the possible meanings and purpose of this "ancient language/sacred art" of the petroglyphs. Perhaps, after reading this text-art book, one can visit rock art sites again in a different way, not just seeing the carved boulders any more, but looking at and perusing them instead...

Sabra Moore - Petroglyphs,
By marina gutierrez (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Petroglyphs: Ancient Language, Sacred Art (Hardcover)
There is an exciting immediacy, an unaffected directness and a sense of wonderment in Moore's delicately illustrated book. She carries the reader with her on a journey through petroglyph sites across America, a journey that traverses geography, art, time and the heart. With great humility Moore explores a form of analytical examination outside the strictures of the academic mold. The result is a narrative both poetic and informative, that expands the vision, and kindles one's desire to travel with Moore. |
