Uncommon Legacies: Native American Art from the Peabody Essex Museum.

DISCUSSION:

By John R. Grimes, et al.
Published by the American Federation of Arts & the University of Washington Press in 2002.

"In the glorious period of great sailing ships, New England mariners brought back treasures from far lands. The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, grew out of the East India Marine Society's desire, in 1799, to protect such 'curiosities' in a museum. Later additions, including modern Native American works, have since filled out the collection. This book commemorates the opening of a new permanent gallery for Native American art. Three excellent essays introduce the history of collecting in general, the growth of collections of Native Americana, and the evolution of the Peabody Essex. Another essay on modern Native American art points the way to the future. Following are 119 glowing plates of the individual objects, with extensive notes on each. Each geographic area represented is defined with a short essay.... A good overview of Native American art." -Library Journal.

Softcover. 9"x12", 272 pages, color and some black & white illustrations. Fine condition.
