Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Wilson Duff was a Canadian anthropologist, museum curator, and scholar of Northwest Coast Indigenous cultures and art. Duff was Curator of Anthropology at the British Columbia Provincial Museum from 1950 to 1965, then Professor of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia from 1965 until his death in 1976. He was involved in museum planning, exhibitions, archaeological site protection, and the preservation of totem poles in Haida Gwaii, then commonly referred to as the Queen Charlotte Islands. "Bird of Paradox" brings together Duff's own previously unpublished writings, especially on Northwest Coast Indigenous art, symbolism, psychology, and meaning. His death in 1976, at age 51, left much of his later thinking unpublished, and "Bird of Paradox" was created to make some of that material available. The book is especially valuable because Duff was interested not only in documenting objects, but in asking what Northwest Coast art thought, meant, and did within its cultural world. The recurring phrase "Haida Art was for Thinking" is a good shorthand for the kind of interpretive work the book preserves. The editor, E. N. Anderson, provides introductory material that places Duff's life, work, and final intellectual contributions in the broader context of Northwest Coast life and art. Paperback. Fine, but for a bumped lower corner. *Please note: this volume will ship from Canada. Shipping costs have increased dramatically recently. DO NOT rely on the shipping quotes in my listing. I will obtain a quote if you are interested. However, generally shipping out of North America is now too expensive except for books of high value.…
