"Sculpture/Inuit draws together masterworks of Eskimo carving in a full and definitive recognition of the culture of the Inuit, the Eskimos of North America. Here in one magnificent volume is a complete and visual reproduction of an exhibit organized by the Canadian Eskimo Arts Council to bring the sculpture of the Arctic to the great museums of the world. Each of the 405 carvings on display is beautifully photographed; most of them are shown singly on a page, and the highlights of the collection are presented in full colour. Essays by George Swinton, James Houston, and William Taylor trace the evolution of this art form and provide an understanding basic to the appreciation of the sculpture.

Never before have the beauty and intense vitality of Eskimo sculpture been presented so skillfully in book format. This volume is not simply a vivid re-creation of the exhibit; it is a work of art in itself - a beautiful presentation of the sculpture of the Inuit."--Amazon.
