Iridescent Light: The Emergence of Northwest Art

Rating:
Summary: Iridescent Light
Review: I loved the pictures in this book and the wonderful stories that go with them. I especially loved learning more about Helmi Juvonen. It is wonderful to see an artist of her calibre receiving this kind of recognition and to see such an excellent overview of Northwestern art. Wes Wehr's drawings, particuarly the Aztec High Priestess with the sparkplugs in her headress, are quintessential examples of his droll part-kachina, part-insect, part-outer-space "Little Monsters". I highly recommend this volume to anyone interested in experiencing the unique qualities of Northwestern art.
