Images in Stone: Southwest Rock Art
Editorial Reviews Book Description The rock art panels of North America have for too long been treated as mere artifacts, their aesthetic power and beauty not completely appreciated by those who have never visited the sites. In pursuit of this often hidden photographic subject, David Muench has searched the American southwest. The superb reproductions convey this art in the manner of of a fine museum portfolio. Anthropologist Polly Schaafsma' s introduction and text provide background on the people who created the art and the world they inhabitated. This comprehensive survey of rock art of America's ancient civilizations staggers the beholder in its beauty and absorbing interest.
