Quarterly journal of the art, culture and history of traditional peoples and Old World civilizations.
This work displays and defines the fruits of thousands of years of black African creative endeavour. All the objects included were made by Africans for their own use, spanning a period from the beginning of the first millennium to the early 20th century, before the commercial production of art aimed at the tourist trade.
Presenting more than 200 stunning works from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and Southeast Asia, some published here for the first time, this book explores how Western artists and collectors first came to appreciate art from these previously unknown cultures in the early 20th century. At a time of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval in the art world, artists like Picasso, Man Ray, and others were exposed to African and other art for the first time and became seduced by its power and extraordinary expressiveness. This book explores the role this art has played in the history of modern and contemporary art and looks at the way beauty was perceived through the eye of explorers, ethnographers, artists, collectors, and dealers, who fell in love with what was then called "primitive" art.
This account of the vanishing art of wmen's tribal tattooing is the record of anthropologist Lars Krutak's ten year research with indigenous peoples around the globe.
