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 | |
