Frederick Hurten Rhead, whose work spanned four decades in this country, is one of the more dynamic and colorful figures of the art pottery era. His activities encompassed every aspect of artware development: the studio operation at Santa Barbara; the direction of small groups of amateur decorators at Arequipa, Weller, and Roseville; instructor in pottery in the grandly-devised University City scheme; and director of research and art director, respectively, at two of the largest United States ceramics factories, American Encaustic Tiling and Homer Laughlin China. -- from the Foreword by Paul Evans

An exquisite collection of twentieth century Native American art. "In the Spirit of the Ancestors" documents the Kappmeyer collection, an outstanding group of works celebrating excellence in pottery, kachinas, weavings, basketry, metalwork, painting, and sculpture. Against a backdrop of beautiful full-color and vintage photographs, "In the Spirit" documents this important collection, providing fascinating introduction to Southwestern Native American art. Over 80 photographs illustrate more than 300 works of art, most of which have not been previously published. From the matriarchs of pueblo pottery to some of today's most exciting young innovators, this is a significant document of the rare and previously unpublished work of a group of important artists. The Kappmeyer collection demonstrates the ongoing evolution of Native American art forms; grounded in tradition, but responsive to the expressive needs of contemporary artists.
