Description: The Inuit of the Canadian Arctic have created a contemporary art form that is acclaimed for its striking imagery, exquisite beauty, and occasional whimsy. In these powerful works the Inuit's unique way of life, traditional myths and beliefs, and the animals of the Arctic spring vividly to life. Inuit Art is the first book to introduce the full range of Inuit sculpture, prints, drawings, and textiles.
