From Library Journal
Haida artist Davidson is renowned for his work in various media, though he is best known for sculpture and printmaking that reflect his Northwest Coast heritage. While several books on Davidson are available, this publication is most valuable because it relies on his ideas rather than interpretation from others-a kind of filtration to which much writing about Native American art is too often subjected. Davidson's own words, effectively allied with Steltzer's photo documentation, give readers a strong visual survey of the artist's inspirations and achievements. Like his equally famous peer, Bill Reid, Davidson has been nurtured by a rich background of creative imagery, especially totem poles and ceremonial masks, and his comments here illuminate Haida culture and art forms. An appropriate supplement to Robert Davidson: Eagle of the Dawn (Univ. of Washington Pr., 1993) and a useful purchase for libraries covering contemporary art history, Native American culture, and Pacific Northwest regional studies.
