Much has been written about the popular kachina dolls carved by the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona, but little has been revealed about the artistry behind them. Now Helga Teiwes describes the development of this art form from early traditional styles to the action-style kachina dolls made popular in galleries throughout the world, and on to the kachina sculptures that have evolved in the last half of the 1980s. Teiwes explains the role of the Katsina spirit in Hopi religion and that of the kachina doll—the carved representation of a Katsina—in the ritual and economic life of the Hopis. In tracing the history of the kachina doll in Hopi culture, she shows how these wooden figures have changed since carvers came to be influenced by their marketability among Anglos and how their carving has been characterized by increasingly refined techniques. Unique to this book are Teiwes's description of the most recent trends in kachina doll carving and her profiles of twenty-seven modern carvers, including such nationally known artists as Alvin James Makya and Cecil Calnimptewa. Enhancing the text are more than one hundred photographs, including twenty-five breathtaking color plates that bring to life the latest examples of this popular art form.

"Hopi Katsina carvings have long fascinated diverse audiences due to their spiritual meaning, their colorful artistry, and their connection to Hopi Indian culture. This book reviews the evolution of katsinam from 1880 to the present. The emphasis is on the life stories of the carvers in relation to their katsina art. The book begins with work from the 1880s, which is anonymous. By the 1920s and 30s, certain artists, such as Wilson Tawaquaptewa and Otto Pentewa, developed such distinctive styles that their work became easily identifiable. Their fascinating life stories are told with details provided by surviving relatives. In the 1940s, Jimmie Kewanwytewa began signing his work, which set a precedent most others have since followed. His biography, and those of his contemporaries, are reviewed with examples of their seminal work provided. The katsina carving tradition is very much alive today. This book features many of the finest living carvers. Some work in a very time-honored traditional style; others are innovators, moving in strikingly new directions. All of these katsina artists shared their autobiographies with Barry Walsh; they had full control over what was published. Dr. Walsh's daughter, Anna, a professional photographer and videographer, took the majority of the more than 150 photographs in the book"--

The Hopi Indian's rich culture and exciting religious ceremonies continue to thrive. However, outsiders have limited opportunity to witness the exciting Katsina dances and ceremonies of the Hopi, save through the well-known and much prized kachina dolls the Katsina spiritually inform. Presenting work from a select set of recognizable Hopi artists, this book relates the detailed history and culture of the Hopis in tandem with their creative efforts to showcase that framework: from remarkable paintings to the kachina sculptures and dolls that manifest as physical representations of the Katsinam, the Hopis' spiritual beings. These pieces complement the Pecina's studious and informative narrative of chronological vignettes and text based on a careful selection of events in Hopi history, oral teachings of great cultural significance, and legends of the Katsinam. Hopi Kachinas presents a clear and meticulous portrait of the Hopis beliefs, history, legends, their Katsina celebrations, and the personas of the Katsinam. This book illuminates the stage of study for scholars, and is vital for students of the Hopi culture.

"In researching his previous book, The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers: 1880 to Present, the author noticed several interesting topics emerge that opened up a whole new world of discovery. People have long been fascinated with Hopi Katsinas. They are colorful artwork with spiritual significance and are woven into the fabric of Hopi Indian culture. Hopi katsina tradition is largely standardized and the art form is steeped in tradition. Hopi carvers have shared with the author that there are a lot of rules and prohibitions. After being a collector and dealer for more than thirty years, the author has seen literally thousands of katsina carvings in museums, books, auctions, galleries, and personal collections. In his years of researching, learning about past carvers, interviewing current carvers, and talking to other people in Hopiland, he discovered katsina anomalies or exceptions or variations, even eccentricities. This book focuses on a variety of anomalies, including the unusual, the rare, and the truly unique"--
