ISBN: 9780295983097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Wild by Design explores the American tradition of freewheeling, improvisational, often asymmetrical quilts, whose makers experimented boldly with design, color, and pictorial motifs.

This book penetrates to the very heart of women's lives, focusing on their relationships to family and friends, to work, to daily tasks. It is a search for...

The field of Native American art history, and our idea of what comprises Indian art itself, were molded largely by policies of the museums and institutions that established their ethnological collections in the second half of the nineteenth century. Objects housed in the great natural history museums--collected and seen first as natural history specimens and later as ?primitive art?--have long been considered to be normative Native American art, rather than as representative of a long and changing history, and collectors? biases against Euro-American influenced work, tourist items,...

Silver Horn's lifespan (1860-1940) placed him in the midst of extreme cultural transformations: by the time of his death, highways, silos, and gas stations dominated the land that had, at his birth, been the domain of buffalo herds and Plains Indians. Silver Horn's art documents these massive changes in the lives of the Kiowa Indians, as well as changes in Kiowa art itself:...
