In Very Good condition. Glossy pictorial paper covers with light bumping to the edges and mild surface wear; binding tight; pages clean and unmarked. Writer and photographer Stephen Trimble's survey of Pueblo pottery, revised twenty years after the 1987 original to take in a younger generation of potters and two decades of change. Drawn from dozens of interviews across the Pueblo world, it moves village by village: from the micaceous wares of Taos and Picuris, through the black and red Tewa pottery of Santa Clara and San Ildefonso, the storyteller figures of the Rio Grande pueblos, and the Acoma, Laguna, and Zuni traditions, to the Hopi revival descended from Nampeyo and the ancient Sikyatki designs. Illustrated throughout with Trimble's own photographs. Contents: Introduction: The People; Talking with the Clay: Technique; Mountain Villages: Taos, Picuris, and the Micaceous Revolution; The Red and the Black: Tewa Pueblos; Telling Stories: Middle Rio Grande Pueblos; Clay Made from History: Acoma, Laguna, and Zuni; The Legacy of Sikyatki: Hopi; One with the Clay: Economics, Art, and Tradition; Notes on Sources; Index.
