This is the first survey of the iconic figure in Northwest Coast
art- Charles Edenshaw. Bringing together the largest number of
works by Charles Edenshaw ever assembled, offering a rare
opportunity to view his legacy. Working in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, he was an exceptional carver of wood,
silver and argillite, imbuing traditional Haida design with an
innovative and elegant personal style. Recognized in his time as an
outstanding carver, his work continues to be a great inspiration to
those who visit the many prominent museums around the world that
hold his acclaimed artworks in their collections. Not only do these
remarkable objects tell us much about Haida culture, but they are
truly sophisticated in their aesthetic achievement. In
collaboration with the Vancouver Art Gallery and the largest
retrospective of Edenshaw's work to date. The book sets up the
Haida tradition and explains Edenshaw's Haida roots, including
interviews with descendants from the region. Edenshaw's distinct
style is addressed along with the issues surrounding attribution
with the Haida artworks. Charles Edenshaw carved into wood,
argillite and precious metals. His work has been collected by
anthropologists and curators in an attempt to record Haida art and
culture before it died. Other Haida artists in the tradition
include Charles F. Newcombe, Franz Boas and John R. Swanton. Much
attention is given to the legacy of Charles Edenshaw and the
contemporary artists that he influenced, the book includes an
interview with contemporary artists Raymond Boisjoly, Neil
Campbell, Robert Linsley and Isabel Rorick. Edenshaw's work is
photographed here in this first major monograph on the important
Haida artist, ideal for anyone with an interest in Northwest Coast
art.
