Synopsis

1993 Barnes & Noble huge (coffee-table size) hardcover & DJ, first thus, first printing. Originally published in 1949 under the title "Patterns & Ceremonials of the Indians of the Southwest." The B&W lithographs, sketches and drawings by Ira Moskowitz are spectacular. Tribes covered: Navajo, Hopi, Apaches, and Pueblo Indians. The marriage of fine artwork and poetically rendered text to portray specific incidents and scenes is often a challenging task. In this book, Ira Moskowitz and John Collier have more than met this challenge. In his medium Moskowitz has displayed a rare sensitivity to both line and form. He provides a rich aesthetic sense in every lithograph, sketch, and drawing.
