THE DEATH OF AUTHENTIC PRIMITIVE ART. and Other Tales of Progress

Errington, S.

Berkeley: 1998. xxvii, 309 pages, 82 photographs. Cloth cover. Item #11345

Primitive art, states the author, was invented as a new type of art object at the beginning of the 20th century, but that now, at the century's end, it has died a double but contradictory death. This theme intelligently--and forcefully--expanded in this examination of the antecedents, history, and future of primitive art.
