ISBN: 0786430915 ISBN-13: 9780786430918 Publisher: McFarland & Company OUR PRICE: $94.05 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2007 Annotation: Archaeological digs have turned up sculptures in Inuit lands that are thousands of years old, but ?Inuit art? as it is known today only dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Early art was traditionally produced from soft materials such as whalebone, and tools and objects were also fashioned out of stone, bone, and ivory because these materials were readily available. The Inuit people are known not just for their sculpture but for their graphic art as well, the most prominent forms being lithographs and stonecuts. This work affords easy access to information to those interested in any type of Inuit art. There are annotated entries on over 3,761 articles, books, catalogues, government documents, and other publications. |
