From the artistic achievements of Preston Monongye, Mission/Mexican, to the intricate designs of Michael Kabotie, Hopi, the beauty and innovativeness of contemporary Southwestern jewelry and metalwork is celebrated in the recently re-released publication ''The Cutting Edge.'' Diana Pardue, curator of collections for the Heard Museum, provides detailed backgrounds about artists such as Harvey Begay, Navajo, Charlie Bird, Santo Domingo/Laguna, Charles Loloma, Hopi, and Charles Supplee, Hopi/French. Illustrated with brilliant photographs that appear to leap from the pages, readers will not only admire the well-crafted treasures, but respect the individual talents that created them.' By Diana F.
