Inuit art : an introduction
The Inuit of the Canadian Arctic have created a contemporary art form that is acclaimed for its striking imagry, exquisite beauty and occaisonal whimsy. In these wonderfully appealing works, the animals of the Arctic, the Inuit and their unique way of life, traditional myths and beliefs, the real and the supernatural, spring vividly to life. This Book provides a definitive introduction to the full range of internationally popular Inuit sculpture, prints, drawings and textile arts.
