These are creations of distinctive power and beauty ~ shaped both with primitive tools and modem implements from a variety of materials,~ ivory, bone, antler, wood, and in more recent times, stone. In a commentary that covers the environment, history, and culture from which these works have arisen, Professor Swinton traces Eskimo carving's gradual transition from magical objects needed for one's spiritual development to functional, decorative objects for self~entertainment and a world~wide market. He explains the basic Eskimo aesthetic principle of sananguag~ a likeness of a real Or imagined subject ~ and provides the most thorough survev to date of contemporary Eskimo sculptors. He examines their work, records their own statements about it, and relates pictorially the various styles and subject matters within the Arctic. Not only is this book a visual catalogue of Eskimo sculpture, it includes the first illustrated compendium of artists' works and a complete bibliography on the subject. This superb volume is a significant contribution to art history and a valuable presentation of a unique, impressive, and exceedingly beautiful art form.
