Shadow House: Interpretations of Northwest Coast Art de Jonathan Meuli

Shadow House: Interpretations of Northwest Coast Art: Studies in Visual Culture

Autor Jonathan Meuli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 noi 2001
In this fascinating study of Northwest Coast art, Jonathan Meuli has not only outlined a history of ideas associated with Northwest Coast art objects from pre-Contact time to the present day, but has also examined the ways in which the physical location and contexts in which the objects are produced has helped to determine their meanings. Locating his linear historical narrative within a wider exploration of ethnographic art ideas, which emphasizes links across cultures, Meuli examines the differing attitudes towards Northwest Coast material culture, particularly as these are embodied in oral mythic narratives, collection methods and architectural constructions.
