Summary

Using natural light techniques, photographers Craig Law, John Telford, Tom Till and Philip Hide reveal prehistoric and historic rock art images throughout Utah.

Table of Contents

Utah has long been known for its spectacular landscape
But not as many people know that Utah's prehistoric rock art is equally as impressive
In fact, Utah has thousands of rock art sites, including a large number of the finest panels to be found anywhere in Europe or America
The sites are tucked among the arches and reefs and along the walls of the winding canyons
Whether pecked or painted, at least ten distinct styles of rock art can be seen
In Utah--including the oldest documented Barrier Canyon style--representing and art-making tradition with a time span of at least 8,000 years!
Art historian David Sucec provides perceptive analysis for the photographs
Leslie Kelen's "conversations" with members of the Ute, Paiute, Hopi, and Northwest
Shoshone tribes inform us about rock art from the Native American point of view--its historic significance, cultural impact, ritualistic importance, and sacred nature
This book of magnificent photographs and insightful text is the next best thing to hiking there yourself
The images gathered do not reflect isolated or occasional artistic phenomena, but reveal an interrelated and interacting artistic universe
