Northwest Coast Indian Art: An Analysis of Form

Northwest Coast Indian Art is a very beautiful book and it is also an important contribution to the fields of art and anthropology. In fact, it enlarges considerably the relatively new field of aesthetic analysis of art in anthropology as opposed to the ethnological, symbolical, or purely formal approaches prevalent earlier. Its most distinguished feature is the author's sensitive yet scientific approach in coming firmly to grips with elements of art which often have been considered intangible.
