Description

The decorative art of the Indians of the American Southwest has long been recognized as one of the most beautiful art traditions in the primative world. It demonstrates a technical skill with simple materials, a symbolic richness, and a faculty for creating rich effects by the imaginative use of ornament that are all almost unique.

The main emphasis of this volume is on ceramic decoration and Mrs Sides includes pieces from the rich archeological sites of

Peco
Sikyatki
the Mimbres

and modern pueblo pottery from

Acoma
Zuni
Cochiti
and the Hopi

She also includes designs and motifs from the basketry of the

Apache
Pima
Papago

Beadwork from the Mohave
Authentic Zuni masks
Hopi Kachina dolls
and Sand and blanket designs from the Navajo

This broad coverage of beautiful ornament illustrates many different art styles to fit every situation, geometric designs based upon balanced mirror fields of design, symbolic figures of the thunderbird and modern stylizations .
