Mythic Beings: Spirit Art of the Northwest Coast

Great book for an introduction to Mythic Beings, compliments cultural visits.

wonderful book

Nice used softcover book and a great price.

I find it very interesting the way in which spiritual belief is transposed into material culture particularly by the newer craftsmen of the area. Wonderful book.

Good book for general knowledge about Northwest Coast artifacts, unfortunately it deals only with modern works which are a bit different from the old masterworks of the Northwest Coast art.

I recently came back from a trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It isn't enough that it is some of the most beautiful landscape on Earth, but I also discovered the amazing artists of the Pacific Northwest community. The artworks within this book (as well as Spirit Faces also by this author) are so moving and beautiful, my only regret is that I am not able to start collecting on a massive scale.Mr. Wyatt also allows the artists to describe for the readers their inspirations and ideas behind their products, which allows us to get to know them a little. After a short while I was able to determine the various artists based upon the varying styles of the pieces depicted here.Highly recommended!

Great color photos and and discriptions of the carvings and artwork. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is interested in Northwest Coast art.
