Portrait Masks from the Northwest Coast of America by J.C.H. King

A scarce book about an interesting but obscure subject, Portrait Masks of the Northwest of America is a useful reference work with many pictures to illustrate the key points raised by the author. The book is filled with pictures of great objects. Those objects hold great meaning to those who created them and this book deals with them in a respectful manner, with as little intrusion as possible. It is a great reference for the art student who is looking to create, or for the art master who is verifying the correctness of his/her creation or for the lover of Pacific North West art.
