Review:
Pitseolak: Pictures Out of My Life should not be dismissed as a mere picture book. In its own way, it is a small treasure. Christian Science Monitor /// "Its distinctions are manifold ...it is the story of an articulate artist, an account of one who has spanned a gulf in culture change, an ethnographic narrative of an unusual people and an album of graphic works of acclaimed excellence." Scientific American /// "Rarely can a book fuse all the elements of a society: the private vision and the public tradition, the past and the present, the personal life and the communal pattern. Pitseolak:Pictures Out of MyLlife achieves all this in an astonishing and delightful way." John Espey, Westways
