Swinton George. Sculpture of the Eskimo

New York Graphic Society, 1972. — 264 p.The photographs in this book constitute the most thorough visual record of Eskimo sculpture ever to he compiled, presenting most of the important pieces and spanning all of the phases from prehistory to the present. A magnificent pictorial chronicle and a sensitive appreciation of this highly individualistic art form, Sculpture of the Eskimo does not set out to judge or analyze hut to reveal the aesthetic experience and profound beauty of these finch crafted carvings and sculptures, approaching them as works of art rather than as archaeological or anthropological phenomena.
