Book Synopsis George Littlechild by : George Littlechild
Download or read book George Littlechild written by George Littlechild and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2012 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Littlechild: The Spirit Giggles Within is a stunning retrospective of a career that has spanned nearly four decades. Featuring more than 150 of the Plains Cree artist's mixed-media works, this sumptuous collection showcases the bold swaths of colour and subtle textures of Littlechild's work. Littlechild has never shied away from political or social themes. His paintings blaze with strong emotions ranging from anger to compassion, humour to spiritualism. Fully embracing his Plains Cree heritage, he combines traditional Cree elements like horses and transformative or iconic creatures with his own family and personal symbols in a unique approach. George Littlechild: The Spirit Giggles Within shows the evolution of an artist from his earliest works to the present day, including hints of future directions and themes. An insightful foreword by artist and curator Ryan Rice, a Mohawk from the Kahnawake First Nation in Quebec, and Littlechild's reflections on each piece build a broad understanding of Littlechild's work, his life and his views on the role of art within all cultures.

Book Synopsis What's the Most Beautiful Thing You Know about Horses? by : Richard Van Camp
Download or read book What's the Most Beautiful Thing You Know about Horses? written by Richard Van Camp and published by Children's Book Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January's coldest day of the year in a small community in the Northwest Territories, a stranger to horses searches among family and friends for answers to an important question. It's forty below in the little town of Fort Smith in the Northwest Territories of Canada -- so cold that the ravens refuse to fly and author Richard Van Camp can't go outside. He belongs to the Dogrib tribe, whose people traditionally haven't used horses. To help pass the time, he decides to pose the question, "What's the most beautiful thing you know about horses?" to family members, friends, and artist George Littlechild, who is Plains Cree and knows a lot about horses. The answers range from zany to profound: Horses can run sideways; they have secrets; they can always find their way home. In this delightful new book, Littlechild's fanciful paintings perfectly capture Van Camp's gentle world-view. Together, they inspire readers to see the world in entirely new ways.
Book Synopsis A Man Called Raven by : Richard Van Camp
Download or read book A Man Called Raven written by Richard Van Camp and published by Children's Book Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in stock! When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think--until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven. In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Awardwinning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature. Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature. Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.
