Sculpture of the Eskimo

pp. 255, signed and dedicated by author. Many black and white photographs and illustrations throughout. Binding clean and tight. “The photographs in this book constitute the most thorough visual record of Eskimo sculpture ever to be compiled, presenting most of the important pieces and spanning all of the phases from prehistory to the present. A magnificent pictorial chronicle and a sensitive appreciation of this highly individualistic art form, ‘Sculpture of the Eskimo’ does not set out to judge or analyse but to reveal the aesthetic experience and profound beauty of these finely crafted carvings and sculptures, approaching them as works of art rather than as archaeological or anthropological phenomena.”
