From the Foreword

“As an introduction to Hopi Kachinas this book is twofold in purpose.  First, it seeks to present 237 paintings of Kachinas by a single Hopi artist.  Second, the accompanying text by Barton Wright is intended to place the Hopi Kachina in its cultural perspective.  From this combination of artist and social scientist, participant and observer, it is hoped that this one artifact of Hopi religion and art can be more thoughtfully and accurately known.”
