Art, religion, and function are naturally commingled in the beautiful and useful objects created by the native peoples of North America, and these works reflect a tradition that is still alive -- as evidenced by today's Native American artists -- in not thriving. This volume, illustrated with 119 beautiful full-color reproductions provides a unique look at the rich variety of Native American art from centuries past to the present day.

Presenting concise overviews of artists and movements that are uniquely American, these volumes distill the essence of their subjects with authoritative texts and lavish illustrations. Since the time of the earliest settlers, Americans have been expressing their individuality through the embellishment of everyday objects. Such classics as whirligigs, ship models, and carousel animals fill these pages.
