Barton Wright, a recognized authority on Hopi Kachinas, has prepared an introduction to the Kachina culture and detailed commentary on 237 paintings of individual kachinas, all reproduced in full color.The meticulous paintings are all by the late Hopi artist Cliff Bahnimptewa, and reflect the Hopi traditions that were handed down to him through generations of Hopi ancestors and the art of kachinamaking taught to him by his grandfather.Hopi Kachinas have for years captured the imagination and curiosity of many people. These supernatural beings are spiritual personifications of living things, objects and concepts that fill the natural world, and with which humans interact. In the Hopi yearly cycle of religious ceremonies kachinas are often represented by costumed dancers, and they are also seen in the form of carved figures and paintings.This book is a fascinating, colorful and comprehensive guide to kachinas in Hopi ritual culture and art.
