Summary

Rick Bartow (b. 1946) is a Native American artist who lives and works on the Oregon coast, yet has built a remarkable web of connections with other artists and art traditions around the world. The book includes pastel drawings, paintings, and mixed media sculptures that reveal the rich and multiple sources of Bartow's wildly beautiful imagery. Bartow, who is of Yurok heritage, draws on his own Native American mythological traditions, as well as those of Europe, Asia and the South Pacific.Based on extensive interviews with the artist, the book traces the development of Bartow's vision over the course of his lifetime. Bartow's work can be understood, as he asserts it to be, as part of a continuum of work incorporating animal/human images in the world art history that stretches back to early cave paintings in Europe and rock art in North America, to 16th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch and contemporary Native American artist Harry Fonseca.
