Zustand: Fine. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 11.875 inches tall; 320 pages with b/w and color illustrations from photography. This volume offers a detailed exploration of the Brooklyn Museum's extensive collection of Native American art, providing both a comprehensive catalog and scholarly analysis. Published in 1991, it delves into the historical and cultural significance of the museum's holdings, while offering insights into the exhibition practices that have shaped its Native American collections. The book is structured into thematic sections, each providing a unique perspective on the art and its cultural context. Diana Fane examines the contributions of Stewart Culin, a pivotal figure in the collection's development, while Ira Jacknis analyzes the impact of Culin's exhibitions on public perceptions of Native American cultures. The collection is organized regionally, covering Native American groups from the Southwest, California, and the Northwest Coast, offering readers a thorough understanding of these diverse artistic traditions. Richly illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, the book presents each artifact with care, connecting visual documentation to its cultural and historical significance. Academic essays complement the images, making it an essential resource for those interested in Native American art, museum studies, and the preservation of cultural heritage. [Adapted from Reviews] Subjects: Native American Art, Museum Collections, Cultural Heritage, Art History, Museum Studies, Indigenous Studies.

Breen (OSAGE CATALOGUE ENTRIES). -- The catalogue section of the book is divided into four parts: the Southwest, California, the Northwest Coast, and the Osage of Oklahoma. Each part contains an essay reviewing Culin's goals and itinerary within the region, his main contacts, and the social and economic conditions that contributed to his success. Based primarily on his hitherto unpublished expedition reports, these essays portray Culin as an indefatigable and competitive collector, exalting in his triumphs but frequently acknowledging confusion and defeat as he faced the challenges of collecting in communities where acculturation had already rendered many native artifacts obsolete. - The objects in this beautifully illustrated book show the remarkable breadth of Culin's collecting and demonstrate the aesthetic and historical significance of his choices. Ranging from tiny amulets to monumental totem poles, they include unusual games such as a string figure made by a Navajo boy, rare ceremonial regalia such as a Maidu feather belt, and outstanding examples of more familiar artifact types. Culin's detailed documentation allows Objects of Myth and Memory to present masterworks of American Indian art in a precise social and historical context.
