People of the Big Voice tells the visual history of Ho-Chunk families at the turn of the twentieth century and beyond as depicted through the lens of Black River Falls; Wisconsin studio photographer; Charles Van Schaick. The family relationships between those who ldquo;sat for the photographerrdquo; are clearly visible in these imagesmdash;sisters; friends; families; young couplesmdash;who appear and reappear to fill in a chronicle spanning from 1879 to 1942. Also included are candid shots of Ho-Chunk on the streets of Black River Falls; outside family dwellings; and at powwows. As author and Ho-Chunk tribal member Amy Lonetree writes; ldquo;A significant number of the images were taken just a few short years after the darkest; most devastating period for the Ho-Chunk. Invasion; diseases; warfare; forced assimilation; loss of land; and repeated forced removals from our beloved homelands left the Ho-Chunk people in a fight for their culture and their lives.rdquo;The book includes three introductory essays (a biographical essay by Matthew Daniel Mason; a critical essay by Amy Lonetree; and a reflection by Tom Jones) and 300-plus duotone photographs and captions in gallery style. Unique to the project are the identifications in the captions; which were researched over many years with the help of tribal members and genealogists; and include both English and Ho-Chunk names.

Anatomy for Med students; not sculptors.By R44chopperI agree with the others that this book is basically an anatomy book; any medical book can replace it; sans the clay. If you want a plethora of latin names for muscles; that information is on line free; along with millions of pictures of muscles. He is only showing he can show off his extensive anatomy understanding; with no real information regarding how to shape clay.You want to learn how to SCULPT; look elsewhere.You want to learn names and shapes anatomy; its online for free.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great how to book for sculptors of the human formBy Sherry L. BrowningThis book is amazing!. Mr. Lucchesi builds a sculpture from the skeleton out; adding the muscles and skin--all with the Greek and Latin medical terms. As a student this information is invaluable in more accurately sculpting the human form. The diagrams also happen to be useful in my work. This is a how to book; but not for the squeamish.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Welcome reissue of a ClassicBy VeritasBruno Lucchesis own work is of the highest order. While he is no Bernini or Michelangelo; he certainly compares to modern masters such as the late Frederick Hart. Without doubt; he can walk the walk!He demonstrates and diagrams how a nascent sculptor with representational instincts can kick off his or her career on a solid note. Happily; the age of abstract expressionism in sculpture (as well as painting) is over.Once again atelier training (old master training) is the way to go; there for those who can afford it; and for those who cant; this 30th Anniversary reissue of Lucchesis master manual is within reach of all.Congratulations; Bruno! I hope you are still with us. And still working!
