Book Description
For the Southwestern Indians, painting was a natural part of all the arts and ceremonies through which they expressed their perception of the universe and their sense of identification with nature. It was wholly lacking in individualism, included no portraits, singled out no artists. But the roving life of the Plains Indians produced a more personal art. Their painted hides were records of an individual's exploits intended, not to supplicate or appease unearthly powers, but to gain prestige within the tribe and proclaim invincibility to an enemy. Plains painting served man-to-man relationships, Southwestern painting those of man to nature, man to God. Such characteristics, and the ways they persist in contemporary Indian painting, are documented by the 157 examples Miss Dunn has chosen to illustrate her story. Thirty-three of these pictures, in full color, are here published for the first time.

Earth Songs, Moon Dreams: Paintings by American Indian Women is a celebration of the contributions of Native American women to America's cultural heritage. Focusing on both traditional and modern art and offering an historical and stylistic overview, Broder's book includes the work of Native American women belonging to more than forty tribes across the United States and Canada. Earth Songs, Moon Dreams features historically important works by pioneer artists of the early twentieth century, classic examples of the Indian-School tradition, examples of the first successful attempts to interpret the techniques of modernism as compatible with the symbols and stylistic conventions of traditional Indian art, and examples of the work of the most innovative and accomplished Native American women painting today. Includes over 100 gorgeous, full color reproductions. Broder has prepared an introduction on each artist and then presents one or two samples of her work.
