About This Item
Barre, Massachusetts: Barre Publishing, 1977. Hardcover. G (Ex-art library; with labels near spines; few interior marks; book block is beginning to pull away from cover; otherwise clean.). Dark tuquoise cloth, black and color illus. dust jacket in mylar cover, 252 pp., 200+ BW illus. and 186 color illus. The first definitive book about the molas of the Cuna Indians of Panama. "Molas are elaborately designed and painstakingly executed cloth panels stitched in applique adorning the blouses of the women. Derived from the ancient custom of body painting, these inventive designs incorporate complex patterns and themes. ... Contact with modern civilizations too often destroys art forms thriving in isolation, but in the case of the Cunas, the women have availed themselves of every graphic influence they find to enrich their work." (dj) Highly illustrated.
