内容説明・目次
内容説明
Glittering World tells the remarkable story of Navajo jewellery, from its ancient origins to the present, through the work of the gifted Yazzie family of New Mexico. Jewellery has long been an important form of artistic expression for Native peoples in the Southwest; its diversity of design reflects a long history of migrations, trade and cultural exchange. Exceptional jewellery makers who have been active for nearly eight decades, the Yazzies are strongly rooted in and inspired by these traditions and values. Their works emphasise reciprocity, harmony, balance and respect for family.
As the companion volume to the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in New York exhibit of the same name, this book is richly illustrated with images of these beautifully crafted treasures, bringing to light some of the finest indigenous art being created in the world today. Its informative and lively narrative complements these stunning images to illuminate the fascinating story of continuity, change and survival embodied by Navajo jewellery.
