Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
The exhibition of Plains Indian shirts, for which this book is the catalog, was assembled by the Horse Captures, father and son, who are affiliated, respectively, with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Their combined resources provide stunning examples of the honor shirts worn by leaders of Plains tribes in the past and a few from the present. The shirts themselves are featured not so much as a chronological history but with respect to type and to craftsmanship. These prized shirts were handed down ceremonially to the next owner and imbued with the sweat of their wearers as a link with the past. They are made of deerskin, fringed or edged with hair from vanquished foes, and decorated with exquisite beadwork or quilled strips (made by the woman most important to the wearer). Heavy on symbolism, the shirts draw attention to the weight of tradition and to the devoted craftsmanship involved in their making, as well as to the pride with which they were worn. For larger American Indian collections. Gay Neale, Meredithville, VA

magnificent, breathtaking
7. Mai 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
over the past several years, i have read and acquired a good number of books about indian beadwork. all have included at least one or two war shirts. none of them prepared me for the overwhelming impact of this book.
war shirts were given to the men of the plains nations for remarkable courage and character and for impressive deeds. the shirts would be transferred to other men of equal standing. the designs were worked by women who were unusually talented in quill and bead embroidery. occasionally, the design of the shirt would be directed by the man to wear it, based on his dreams/visions.
since it is oversized, the book allows larger, more detailed photos of the shirts. quillwork, paint, beads and other materials show up clearly. the workmanship is stunning, the designs are magnificent. the use of materials is inspirational. the examples range from the early 19th century to contemorary shirts.
the text, aside from a couple of areas where the proofreader failed miserably in his job, is almost as interesting as the shirts. this is not to insult the authors. no words could equal the shirts. there are also quotes from contemporary indians about the shirts that are interesting and illuminating.
if this book had been published by abrams, the price would have been at least doubled. given the quality of the photos, that fact alone is worth a couple of stars.
this is a must for anyone interested in indian beadwork, history or art and for anyone interested in beauty and great design of any origin.

The photos tell it all!

What a beautiful book! As an artist and a painter I often rely on photos to give me historical detail. This book is the best I have ever seen for native american clothing. Each turn of the page shows a high definition close-up including a very informative description of not only the item but insights into it's making, purpose and meaning. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to visually examine native american clothing. Newer examples of current native clothing artists are included. I appreciated this additional insight as well. I learned much from this book and it will be a valuable addition to my reference library.
