Description
 
The University of Alaska Museum collection of Alaskan art ranges from 2000 year old ivory carvings to paintings done in the 1990s. Looking North presents 138 of the Museum's most treasured works from the archaeology, ethnology, and fine arts collections.

Among them are ancient artifacts as well as 19th and 20th century artworks by Athabaskan, Aleut, Yupik, Inupiat, Haida, Tlingit and other Alaska Natives.

Historical painting is represented by the canvas of well known artists such as Sydney Laurence, Rockwell Kent, and Henry Wood Elliot. Works by George Aghupuk and Florence Malewotkuk are among the Eskimo drawings and watercolors included. Images by James H Barker and others present Alaska through photographs.

Color illustrations of the artworks are accompanied by a lively dialogue among ten experts (both Native and non-Native) including artists, university faculty and museum staff. Their conversation ranges from detailed discussion of the manufacture, style and significance of particular works to theoretical musings on the museum experience, ethnic art and the many meanings.

CONDITION: Soft cover, 206 pages, light wear from shelving only, in excellent condition.
