Kachinas : a Hopi artist's documentary.

The Bahnimptewa paintings were first shown to the public in 1971 at the Heard Museum Gallery of Indian Art. In conjunction with this exhibition, a catalogue entitled Dancing Kachinas was published and forty-eight smaller photographs of the paintings were reproduced there. The response to this exhibit and catalogue then prompted the Heard Museum to consider this larger publication. Barton Wright was the unanimous choice to author the accompanying text and he, along with H. Thomas Cain, Richard Conn, Dr. Bertha P. Dutton, Dr. Edward B. Danson, Byron Harvey and Paul Weaver, contributed immeasurably at the initial planning stages of the volume. From Kachinas: a Hopi artist's documentary by Barton Wright, original paintings by Cliff Bahnimptewa, 1973. 35mm black and white negatives can be viewed in the RC Negative folder; see Archivist.
