Arts of the Eskimo : prints

Roch, Ernst. (Added Author).

Summary: "Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, one of the most important publishing ventures yet undertaken in this country, is the definitive work on printed Eskimo graphics. It is a comprehensive survey of all areas in the Canadian Arctic where prints are produced and contains works by all the leading printmakers. No other book has attempted such a representative survey of the prints, which have come to us from a remote part of the world over the past sixteen years in succeeding cascades of exuberant creativity. The two texts deal respectively with the aesthetic content of printed Eskimo graphics and with the social, cultural and anthropological background to the art. All the prints - over a hundred - are reproduced full page in their original colours. Every print is accompanied by a facing page of descriptive text. In addition, the book contains short biographies of all artists - draughtsmen, stone- or stencil-cutters and printers - represented."
