OCEANIC ART

New York: 1995. 216 pages, 153 b/w and 26 color photographs, 3 maps. Item #9161

An overview of the art of Oceania, this volume packs a great deal of punch into its slightly more than 200 pages. Heavily illustrated with both field and studio photographs, this work forgoes the usual geographic/cultural area structure, and instead is organized around the types or uses of art as found in the Pacific: The Art of War, the Art of the Body, Maternal Symbolism and Male Cults, Barkcloth, Feathers, Ancestors and Architecture, and a chapter on Native Art and Tourism.

Price: $24.00
