In western culture, rock art has traditionally been viewed as
""primitive"" and properly belonging in the purview of
anthropologists rather than art scholars and critics. This volume,
featuring previously unpublished photographs of Utah's magnificent
rock art by long-time rock art researcher Layne Miller and essays
by former Utah state archaeologist Kevin Jones, views rock art
through a different lens. Miller's photographs include many rare
and relatively unknown panels and represent a lifetime of work by
someone intimately familiar with the Colorado Plateau. The photos
highlight the astonishing variety of rock art as well as the
variability within traditions and time periods. Jones's essays
furnish general information about previous Colorado Plateau
cultures and shine a light on rock art as art. The book emphasizes
the exqui site artistry of these ancient works and their capacity
to reach through the ages to envelop and inspire viewers.
