The tragic death of Wilson Duff at the age of 51, cut short the
life of one of the leading experts on the arts and cultures of
native peoples of the Northwest Coast. An anthropology professor at
the University of B.C., his death, by his own hand, terminated his
uncommonly perceptive research into the philosophy and psychology
of Native art. Bird of Paradox consists of unpublished works by
Duff which present his unique theoretical ideas that contribute to
art scholarship, as well as creative writings and poetry which
expose his emotional experiences with and feelings toward Native
art and culture. Editor E. N. Anderson has provided detailed
introductory material recounting Duff's life and work, and puts
Duff's final contributions in the context of Northwest coast life.
