Reviews

The focus of this book is the traditional indigenous arts and architecture of the Southwest U.S. Different types of (and terminology relating to) Native American and Hispano art, such as Acoma Pueblo pottery, Chief’s blanket, Colcha, Ironwork, and Rain symbols, are given consideration in this excellent volume. Full-color photographs accompany succinct definitions, many with see also references. An 11-page introduction offers up history and defines the geographical area, while a listing of museums, a bibliography, and an index round out the work. Deserving of a space in all art sections, this is recommended for public and academic libraries. --Rebecca Vnuk
