Summary:	"The masterworks of Northwest Coast Native artists are admired today as among the great achievemments 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, a foundational reference on northern Northwest coast Native art. Through his careful studies, Holm described this visual language using terminology that has become part of the established vocabularly that allows us to talk about works like these and understand changes in style both through time and among 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. Holm 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 on which he based his conclusions constitutes a repository of valuable information for all succeeding researchers in the field." --Inside front cover.  Read more...
