 Rating:  - Northwest Coast Indian Art - An Analysis of FormThis is the "bible" on the principles of all of the forms used in Northwest Coast art. The forms are well documented and illustrated.

Note, however, that I emphasize the word "serious." If you are more of a beginner or casual observer, this book should be third on your list behind "Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast" by Hilary Stewart and "Learning by Designing Pacific Northwest Coast Native Art, Vol. 1" by Gilbert and Clark. Although the book is easy to read and very well written, it has a decidely academic tone to ... Read More
