Northwest Coast Indian Designs

by Madeline Obran-Szontagh

In this volume noted illustrator Madeleine Orban-Szontagh renders designs produced by the Indians of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and the western coast of Canada: Nootka, Kwakiutl, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian and other groups. Over 270 original designs include stylized plants, birds and animals, abstract borders and repeating patterns, totemic images and symbols and a host of other decorative elements. These arresting and beautiful Native American images lend themselves to use in a wide range of Indian-related graphic art and craft projects, as well as providing a rich source of design inspiration.
