This book is the fifth collaboration of award-winning author-photographer team
Jerry and Lois Jacka. In this book, the Jackas share their first-hand knowledge and
experiences

and beautifully illustrated book reflects the rare degree of respect, trust, and access
given
to the authors, who have been welcomed into Hopi homes and ceremonies. Over 160
striking photographs, vivid descriptions and numerous true stories recount the history,
culture, practices, and spirituality of the Hopis while demonstrating how this tribe of
some
10,000 generates such a remarkable abundance of artistry. Art of the Hopi is the

The Legacy of a Master
Potter Nampeyo and Her Descendants
Mary Ellen Blair, Laurence R. Blair |
|
The Hopi-Tewa woman called Nampeyo is recognized today as one of
the most important artists of the American Southwest. Through her hands, the craft of Hopi
pottery blossomed into the revival of an art form almost lost. By the opening of the
twentieth century, Nampeyo's pots were being carried far beyond the Southwest to the
showcases of New
York and Europe. Mary Ellen and Laurence Blair's years of research have resulted in a
landmark study of Nampeyo's life and work and how she handed down her skill and devotion
to her daughters and grandchildren and inspired others to follow her lead. It is
extensively illustrated with hundreds of color and black-&-white photos, maps, and
drawings. Also included are notes, genealogy charts, references, and index.

Beyond Tradition Jerry & Lois Jacka |
This is an excellent sourcebook for those wanting to learn more about quality Native art. The information provided will help you learn about the various associations that work with Native artists as well as wonderful insights into many of the artists themselves. "Anything by Lois and Jerry Jacka" is the recommendation given in the conclusion of The Native American Indian Artist Directory (a book that gives you actual contact information, i.e. phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc.) for good reason. The quality of their work has been recognized for many years. If you attend the major Native art events in the Southwest you're likely to see them there, keeping current on the latest in Native arts. One more terrific publication from the Lois & Jerry Jacka team! --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title. |
