Art from Alaska Book of Postcards

Description

Art from Alaska surveys the wide range of art that has been created to celebrate and document the land, the wildlife, and the people who have lived in this rugged and beautiful place. You will find an Eskimo portrait by Native artist James Kivetoruk Moses, a sweeping vista of Mount McKinley by beloved Alaskan painter Sydney Mortimer Laurence, and a sleeping polar bear by Fred Machetanz. Glaciers, walruses, village scenes, and the northern lights are represented, from artists such as Jules Dahlager, Florence Nupok Malewotkuk, David Mollett, Eliot O’Hara, George Aden Ahgupuk, Carl Saxild, Wuanita Smith, and Prescott M. M. Jones. These works together capture the essence of Alaska, a vast, dynamic land where mountains meet the sea and old cultures meet new—and where artists will always find inspiration.
