Klappentext When this book first appeared in 1996, it was “Pottery 101,” a basic introduction to the subject. It served as an art book, a history book, and a reference book, but also fun to read, beautiful to look at, and filled with good humor and good sense. After twenty years of faithful service, it’s been expanded and brought up-to-date with photographs of more than 1,600 pots from more than 1,600 years. It shows every pottery-producing group in the Southwest, complete with maps that show where each group lives. Now updated, rewritten, and re-photographed, it's a comprehensive study as well as a basic introduction to the art.This book organizes and explains the techniques and developments of Southwestern pottery from its prehistoric beginnings, showing who those early people were and what they made. It also presents a thorough introduction to the history of the Southwest during its settlement by the Spanish, and later, Mexicans and Americans.
