The Jamake Highwater Collection (Primal Mind / Native Land)
Editorial Review:
Description
Primal Mind
The greatest distance between people is culture...not space. Join acclaimed author Jamake Highwater as he explores differences in how American Indians and people of a western or European heritage experience themselves and their environments. Illustrated through contrasting views of art, time, architecture, medicine, and dance, Primal Mind identifies important distinctions between a mind rooted in respect for nature, sacred myths and rituals, and a mind that strives toward achievement, order, and the desire to rise above or conquer nature.
Discover how contemporary artists fused the primal and western ways of thinking to create breakthroughs in modern art. Examine how Martha Graham, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Henry Moore were influenced by Southwestern tribal dance, Navaho sand painting, African wood carvings and masks, and pre-Columbian stone carvings. Based on Jamake Highwater's book The Primal Mind.
Native Land
Through a tapestry of ritual dance, drama, and storytelling, acclaimed author Jamake Highwater traces the path of the nomads who discovered the Americas and created the complex civilizations of the Aztecs, Incas, and other South American tribes. See how the history and legacy of these peoples have survived through their myths and art. Experience the transformation of cave drawings into the dancing frenzy of the hunting ritual. Examine the pottery of the Moche, the sculpture of the Tiahuanaco, and the mysterious earth drawings of the Nazcans.
Explore how different peoples' ways of seeing and understanding their relation to nature, the animal world, and the cosmos influences the structure of their society, their morality and their ideals. Based on Jamake Highwater's book Native Land.
