Summary: SUPERB OVERVIEW OF OCEANIC ART
Review: The book gives an excellent overview of the art in the Oceanic region with special emphasis on New Guinea.The contributions are organised geographically and then by tribes. The book not only depicts extraordinary and seldom documented works of art from museums and private collections but also provides valuable information on the ethnological and social context of the works displayed. Photographs and layout are outstanding and the printing is of the highest quality. It is a must for all those interested in the art of the region or in tribal art in general.
