Bøger i Newark Museum - Seeing America serien

Where do we begin to talk about abstract art? From the point of view of the collection included in this book, the arc of abstraction is very broad, sweeping and multivalent. The essays included here take an open view of the story of abstraction, reflecting the variation and diversity of American art included in the holdings of the Newark Museum.

Lavishly illustrated with over 80 full-colour images, this book includes original art and artifacts from the distant past as well as modern work by Native American artists. Works included are clothing (such as robes and hats), everyday items (such as blankets, pots, and baskets) and artwork (such as paintings on animal hide and figurines).
