Indian notes
Indian notes is a 1924 museum publication from the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation in New York, issued for a general audience interested in Native American material culture. Its plates photograph objects such as a striped and dark woven textile, a shallow carved bowl with heart motifs, a painted hide container with bold scroll shapes, and wooden spoons and paddles photographed plainly against pale backgrounds. A designer could draw on the strong graphic contrast of dark motifs on light ground and the bold, simplified shapes of the bowl and container.
