Among the scarcest American Indian art exhibition publications in this volume (part I of II), published more than eighty years ago for the first exhibition of American Indian art in which objects were selected as art objects, rather than as artifacts. Volume I introduces American Indian art and discusses painting, basketry, weaving, pottery, sculpture, and beadwork--and has tipped-in color plates.
