Sandpainting has it origin in the religious tradition and practice
of the Navajo people. It forms a central part of their religious
chants, being a place where Earth People and Holy People come into
harmony, giving healing and protection. Sandpainting is understood
as being very powerful, and for many years it was deemed unwise and
even dangerous not to erase the paintings when the ritual was
completed. In the course of the twentieth century this attitude has
modified allowing for many representations to be made, while still
not violating the religious traditions. Sandpainting thus have come
to be an internationally appreciated and collected art form. In
this newly revised and expanded volume, over 400 sandpaintings are
illustrated in full color. They range from the most traditional to
the new forms that are being developed today. The sandpaintings are
organized by artist, making this an important reference for
collectors.
