Native North American Art Summary

Native North American Art by Janet Catherine Berlo

This is a survey of native North American art history which fully incorporates substantive research and scholarship, and examines such issues as gender, representation, the colonial encounter and contemporary arts. By encompassing both the sacred and secular, political and domestic, the ceremonial and commercial, it shows the importance of the visual arts in maintaining the integrity of spiritual, social, political and economic systems within native North American societies. The book explores the indigenous arts of the US and Canada from the early pre-contact period to the present day, stressing the conceptual and iconographic continuities over five centuries and across a diverse range of regions. The richness of native American art is emphasized through discussions of basketry, wood and rock carvings, dance masks and beadwork, alongside the contemporary vitality of paintings and installations by modern artists such as Robert Davidson, Emmi Whitehorse and Alex Janvier.
