Record #20963:
Eskimokunst / Erik Holtved.
Title: | Eskimokunst / Erik Holtved. |
Translated title: | Eskimo art. |
Author(s): | Holtved, Erik. |
Date: | 1947. |
Publisher: | Copenhagen: Foreningen for ung dansk kunst |
Language: | Danish. |
Abstract: | Eskimo art is chiefly "applied", but uses decoration on utilitarian shapes, which themselves are not totally circumscribed by function. In Alaska decoration is of traditional styles, based on animals. In East Greenland typical tupilaks were made, and other Inuit made figures for games. Masks are another traditional form, of skin or wood. Women's work is in skins - dress stereotyped, but bags allowing for variety of taste and great skill. |
Notes: | English summary p.29, English captions. |
