Sculpture of the Inuit
''New revised edition of a reference in which Swinton (one of the foremost authorities on Inuit sculpture) presents most of the important carvings of the pre-historic, historic, and contemporary eras, re-examining the trends of the past and revealing new directions in the development of this distinct yet highly variegated art form. The heart of the volume is an extensive catalogue of artists listed by area, and a profusely illustrated commentary in which Swinton examines the environment, history, and culture from which these works have arisen. Contains approximately 2,000 cross-indexed entries, an inventory of artists, and updated captions (including re-attributions).''-
Inuit Art
Inuit--sometimes referred to as Eskimo--art is the primary art form of Canada and has a large international following, particularly in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Despite its popularity, the complete history of Inuit art has never been presented. This is the first chronological synthesis of Inuit art, following its development from prehistory, through early American and European exploration, to the recognition of Inuit art as a commercial possibility, and up to the present. There is a particular emphasis on contemporary art and artists, and the years 1950 through 1997 are each given separate, detailed treatment in regard to important shows and events. This history is appropriate both for the beginning admirer of Inuit art and for those already well immersed in it.

The Way of Inuit Art
Inuit art, both ancient and contemporary, has inspired the interest of scholars, collectors and art lovers around the globe. This book examines Inuit art from prehistory to the present with special attention to methodology and aesthetics, exploring the ways in which it has been influenced by and has influenced non-Inuit artists and scholars. Part One gives the history of the main art-producing prehistoric traditions in the North American arctic, concentrating on the Dorset who once flourished in the Canadian region. It also demonstrates the influence of theories such as evolutionism, diffusionism, ethnographic comparison, and shamanism on the interpretation of prehistoric Inuit art. Part Two...
