Book Description:
|
The study of what has become known as Plains Indian ledger art - because the artists frequently used accountants' ledger books as sources of paper - has burgeoned in the last forty years. Joyce Szabo's examination of two drawing books by Zotom and Howling Wolf encompasses their origins and the issues surrounding their commission as well as what the images say about their creators and their collector. Szabo augments the complete reproduction of each page with detail photographs of the drawings.
