Summary: native american hobbyist/fake
Comment: The book attempts to authenticate third-rate paintings of Native Americans, by a non-Native. Isn't it strange how non-Native hobbyists always write the books and are the 'experts'? The book is an example of colonization of Native American art.

Summary: Holm's paintings and his life
Comment: This book offers an excellent and detailed account of the artist's interesting life and features plates of his paintings. His work went beyond paintings, however, and this is where I was wishing for more. Holm was very active in other forms of northwest native art and in my opinion his work with wood crafts may be even more impressive than his paintings. Some of his paintings of persons look a bit rough, faces are especially stiff. However, the paintings of northwest coastal scenes are extraordinary in how they evoke the watery atmosphere of that region and in the perfect detail given to native art and craft. For example, he details the chisel marks on paintings of canoes and lodge beams. A very good book, and far more than a book of pretty pictures. Holm's lifelong association with native northwest peoples and crafts makes for good reading.
