Book Synopsis Northwest Coast Indian Art by : Bill Holm
Download or read book Northwest Coast Indian Art written by Bill Holm. This book was released on 2014-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 50th anniversary edition of this classic work on the art of Northwest Coast Indians now offers color illustrations for a new generation of readers along with reflections from contemporary Northwest Coast artists about the impact of this book. The masterworks of Northwest Coast Native artists are admired today as among the great achievements of the world’s artists. The painted and carved wooden screens, chests and boxes, rattles, crest hats, and other artworks display the complex and sophisticated northern Northwest Coast style of art that is the visual language used to illustrate inherited crests and tell family stories. In the 1950s Bill Holm, a graduate student of Dr. Erna Gunther, former Director of the Burke Museum, began a systematic study of northern Northwest Coast art. In 1965, after studying hundreds of bentwood boxes and chests, he published Northwest Coast Indian Art: An Analysis of Form. This book is a foundational reference on northern Northwest Coast Native art. Through his careful studies, Bill Holm described this visual language using new terminology that has become part of the established vocabulary that allows us to talk about works like these and understand changes in style both through time and between individual artists’ styles. Holm examines how these pieces, although varied in origin, material, size, and purpose, are related to a surprising degree in the organization and form of their two-dimensional surface decoration. The author presents an incisive analysis of the use of color, line, and texture; the organization of space; and such typical forms as ovoids, eyelids, U forms, and hands and feet. The evidence upon which he bases his conclusions constitutes a repository of valuable information for all succeeding researchers in the field. Replaces ISBN 9780295951027

Book Synopsis Margaret Callahan by : Margaret Bundy Callahan
Download or read book Margaret Callahan written by Margaret Bundy Callahan. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was l929. Margaret Bundy, a young journalist with an interest in literature, jazz, and politics, worked for a Seattle weekly called the Town Crier. Assigned to review the Northwest Annual art show she met a struggling young painter named Kenneth Callahan. In l930 Kenneth and Margaret eloped. Though not a perfect union, they were mutually distressed by the Great Depression and shared a love for travel as well as a love for the Cascade Mountains, where in l938 they rented a woodcutter's shack in the Robe Valley near Granite Falls, Washington for fifteen dollars a year. The Callahan's circle in Seattle included many who subsequently became well-known, as did Kenneth, in the world of arts and letters. Her observations provide insight into the characters of these well-known personalities. But Margaret's interest in people was not limited to those in the art world. She was equally attracted to many of the pioneers and working people she met. She and Kenneth used the expression 'a real person' to describe someone they found of value. Margaret brings to life many 'real' people who, regardless of social status or wealth, have fascinating stories to tell. This memoir is compiled from her earliest recollections until her untimely death at the age of fifty-seven in l96l. 1904 - 1961. Child of Mabel Upton (Chicago University Medical School) and Edward Bundy (self-educated lawyer in Seattle). Graduated l924 from the University of Washington School of Journalism. Reporter for the Seattle Star newspaper. Edited the weekly Town Crier. Later wrote features for the Seattle Times. Married Kenneth Callahan in l930. Traveled to Mexico, Europe, and Central America. Active in the Seattle political scene of the l930s. Son born in l938. Subsequently, divided her time between Seattle and a cabin in the Robe Valley in Washington's Cascade Range. Margaret compulsively recorded her thoughts and impressions about everything: the people she knew, political events, and her intense love of nature. ForeWord Clarion Book Review
