Silver Horn: Master Illustrator of the Kiowas

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Working in graphite, colored pencil, crayon, pen and ink, and watercolor on hide, muslin, and paper, Silver Horn, produced more than one thousand illustrations between 1870 and 1920. Silver Horn created an unparalleled visual record of Kiowa culture, from traditional images of warfare and coup counting to sensitive depictions of the sun dance, early Peyote religion, and domestic daily life. In this presentation of Silver Horn's work, showcasing 43 color and 116 black-and-white illustrations, Greene provides a thorough biographical portrait of the artist and, through his work, assesses the concepts and roles of artists in Kiowa culture.

From the Publisher
In writing this book Greene frequently consulted with Silver Horn's descendants, including Donald Tofpi, Silver Horn's great-grandson, who provided the Foreword.
