Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Hopi Indian Kachina dolls have evolved from a primitive religious symbol into a modern art form. Tracking this transition, Teiwes covers the history and cultural background of the Hopi Indians and their Kachina dolls, then turns to modern techniques and biographies of some contemporary Hopi artists. The author's admitted weakness in history shows in an uneven, choppy chapter, with frequent references to authorities. Nothing new is offered. The book is heavily illustrated, but the captions are ponderous, even longer than the text on the page. Still, the central color plates are particularly beautiful, and the book ends with quick and concise biographies of 27 Hopi artists. This specialized source is recommended for collections on American Indian or Southwest art.
- Karen Ellis, Victoria P.L., Tex.
