Sculpture of the Inuit by George Swinton Pdf

''New revised edition of a reference in which Swinton (one of the foremost authorities on Inuit sculpture) presents most of the important carvings of the pre-historic, historic, and contemporary eras, re-examining the trends of the past and revealing new directions in the development of this distinct yet highly variegated art form. The heart of the volume is an extensive catalogue of artists listed by area, and a profusely illustrated commentary in which Swinton examines the environment, history, and culture from which these works have arisen. Contains approximately 2,000 cross-indexed entries, an inventory of artists, and updated captions (including re-attributions).''-

Inuit Art by Richard C. Crandall Pdf

Inuit--sometimes referred to as Eskimo--art is the primary art form of Canada and has a large international following, particularly in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Despite its popularity, the complete history of Inuit art has never been presented. This is the first chronological synthesis of Inuit art, following its development from prehistory, through early American and European exploration, to the recognition of Inuit art as a commercial possibility, and up to the present. There is a particular emphasis on contemporary art and artists, and the years 1950 through 1997 are each given separate, detailed treatment in regard to important shows and events. This history is appropriate both for the beginning admirer of Inuit art and for those already well immersed in it.

An Annotated Bibliography of Inuit Art by Richard C. Crandall,Susan M. Crandall Pdf

Archaeological digs have turned up sculptures in Inuit lands that are thousands of years old, but “Inuit art” as it is known today only dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Early art was traditionally produced from soft materials such as whalebone, and tools and objects were also fashioned out of stone, bone, and ivory because these materials were readily available. The Inuit people are known not just for their sculpture but for their graphic art as well, the most prominent forms being lithographs and stonecuts. This work affords easy access to information to those interested in any type of Inuit art. There are annotated entries on over 3,761 articles, books, catalogues, government documents, and other publications.
