By Paul S Wingert
$30.00
Here is the best introduction yet produced for anyone who enjoys reading about primitive art, looking at it in galleries and museums, and collecting it.
Paul S. Wingert begins with a careful definition of primitive art and comments on past and present attitudes toward it. Then, by investigating the physical, psychological, and sociological settings in which these works are produced, Professor Wingert examines primitive art in the major areas of Negro Africa, Oceania, and North America. His informed analysis of the aesthetic qualities that characterise the numerous styles within the traditions of the regions discussed provides a most readable and attractive guide to this increasingly popular art field.
