The Sound of Drums: A Memoir of Lloyd Kiva New

By Lloyd Kiva New

Book Overview

In a series of personal anecdotes, supplemented by photographs, essays, and manuscripts, "The Sound of Drums" is a memoir of celebrated Cherokee artist, fashion designer, and educator Lloyd Kiva New (1916-2002). An important figure in Native American art, design, and pedagogy, New inspired thousands of artists and students during his career. Humble beginnings in rural Oklahoma spawned an obsession with nature and a connection to his Cherokee roots-a connection he sought to strengthen throughout his life, "The Sound of Drums." Hon. Wilma Mankiller says: "...an important book about a visionary artist who literally transformed the landscape of Native American art in the American Southwest."
