This book is the first work to provide a comprehensive description of the art of Greenland from the earliest times to the present. That alone makes it demand our attention. But even more, it is a fascinating story, written by an intelligent and shrewd observer with a deep insight into Greenlandic culture and a thorough understanding of the conditions under which Greenlandic art had developed. In addition to pictoral art, all forms of artistic manifestation in Greenlandic society is considered. This book is in very good condition, but there is minor wear and a couple of small tears in the DJ at the folds.
