Thomas Hoving, former director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, examines Namingha's Hopi heritage (his great-grandmother was a legendary Hopi potter) and his childhood on a reservation in Arizona, and explains their influence on his art. The 120 stunning illustrations, including 80 full-color plates -- ranging from the powerful Kachina series of paintings to a monumental bronze for the New Mexico state capitol -- convey the stark imagery and timelessness of the works of this gifted, original, and important Pueblo artist.
