Primitive Art
Douglas Fraser
1962 170001177 With 183 plates, including 59 in full color, this outstanding volume of 320 pages, presents the most comprhensive and authoritative guide to the primitive art of Africa, the Islands of South Pacific, Australia, Southeast Aaia and the Americas - all superbly illustrated. Includes many objects never before reproduced. The book is rare, the book jacket is a mess with wear 'n tear throughout, still it is included for the color photography on front and back and for the reader's reference! Surprisingly enought there was no single volume of moderate price which systematically covers the field of Primitive Art in full length text and numerous illustrations! THIS book does just that. It is also the FIRST book on the subject by a trained art historian! The text discusses outstanding examples from every major area and includes works in wood, stone, jade, clay, barkcloth, shells and other materials. The author emphasizes cultural and historical connections,including newly discovered relationships between the art of Polynesia and that of Indonesia and aChina, between Ameri-Indian and SOutheastern Asian art, and between African sculpture and Neolithic and Bronze Age art. The illustrations have been chosen from collections the world over and photogrpahed by outstanding photographers. Some pencil underlining throughout the pages of this book. Doubleday & Co
