Hopi & Pueblo Tiles - An Illustrated History (Paperback)

The appealing, affordable, Native American art of "flat pots."
The Hopi people of northern Arizona and their Pueblo relatives in New Mexico are famous for their fine pottery jars, bowls, and figures. But they also have a less well-known tradition: the making of unique, handcrafted clay tiles, beginning with ancient altarpieces and progressing to one-of-a-kind contemporary art tiles prized by collectors. Recently a few Navajo potters have also started to experiment with this special form--an attractive, affordable, and highly collectible Native American art. Profusely illustrated, with a foreword by the noted anthropologist and artist Barton Wright, "Hopi and Pueblo Tiles" is the first full-length study of these charming "flat pots." 80 color & b/w photos.
