5.0 out of 5 stars Images of native American masks., June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit Faces: Contemporary Masks of the Northwest Coast (Paperback)

A unique collection of native American masks who's beauty is breath taking. The amazing pictures contained here show in great detail the talent of those who created them. Each mask has a description of its use and they are shown in all their glory - each one has been re-created using traditional methods so that you get to see them as they were intened to be seen. Invaluable!

This review is from: Spirit Faces: Contemporary Masks of the Northwest Coast (Paperback)

This book has beautiful photography and a striking diversity of masks. I wanted to buy this book after visiting a native history museum in Anchorage, AK. They had this book available as a reference with their collection of native masks. As an artist, I find the masks truly inspiring and this book gives lots of great examples!
