Abstract

"From the first magical amulets and weapons to the world–famous Cape Dorset prints, Inuit art is discussed by authorities such as Sheila Butler (Wall Hangings from Baker Lake, First Printmaking Year at Baker Lake), Charlotte and Edward Lindgren (The Pangnirtung Tapestries), and Jean Blodgett (The Historic Period in Canadian Eskimo Art). For the newcomer, a solid introduction to Inuit art; for collectors and researchers, a gathering of expert knowledge in one volume."--Amazon.
