Item Description

Oceanic Art

by Adrienne L. Kaeppler, Christian Kaufmann, Douglas Nemton

Harry N. Abrams, 1997

ISBN: 0810936933

Hardcover with dust jacket, 10" X 12", 633 pages

The book is in new, unread condition (removed from original shrinkwrap 5-15-08).


From the dust jacket:

The Oceanic world—Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia—is made up of thousands of islands, from the vast territory of New Guinea to a myriad of tiny coral atolls. The native peoples of these lands have developed civilizations more varied than anywhere else in the world. In most of these societies, art holds a crucial position in both social and religious life, and encompasses not only architecture, painting, and sculpture, but also music, dance, prayer, and body decoration. The first major survey of Oceanic arts to be published in more than thirty years, this comprehensive volume brings together a vast number of important discoveries and the results of several in-depth studies of the subject, both past and present. Building on contemporary research and the most recent theoretical work, it also provides an introduction for the general reader through a series of remarkable texts and 900 illustrations, many never before published. A documentary section about the principal cultural groups of the region provides an essential reference. An excellent map adds further value.

Douglas Newton, former director of the Department of African and Oceanic Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is the world's foremost authority on the region. He has written the Introduction. Adrienne L. Kaeppler, Curator of Oceanic Ethnology at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C., covers Polynesia and Micronesia. Christian Kaufmann, Curator of the Museum fur Volkerkunde (Museum of Ethnology) in Basel, Switzerland, discusses Melanesia. These top-ranking scholars bring the rich and complex societies of Oceania vividly to life.

900 illustrations, including 260 plates in full color, gatefold, 1 map
