Book excerpt: "A publication revealing the extraordinary talents of the scultors of New Guinea, in turn, marked with staggering ferocity and surprising delicacy. The rituals of the native inhabitants of this major island sometimes involved headhunting, perceived as a need to appropriate the enemy's vital forces in order to increase one's own. It is a complex mythology that has given rise to numerous sacred or magic sculptures, the oldest of which were carved with stone tools or sharp shell edges and finished with the pointed teeth of small animals. The Barbier-Mueller Museum presents almost two hundred pieces from New Guinea belonging to its collections, documented by surperb photographs, some of which are previously unpublished." --Dust Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaxing the Spirits to Dance explores the relationship between social life and artistic expression since the nineteenth century in one of the most important art-producing regions of Papua New Guinea. It includes a stunning presentation of hand-carved and hand-painted ancestor boards, masks, drums, skull racks, and personal items. Each society on the Papuan Gulf had its own elaborate traditions of carved, painted, or decorated masks, boards, and hand drums that filled the men's longhouses for use in dances and performances. Today these art objects offer a glimpse into the varied cosmologies and ritual lives of these surprisingly diverse societies before they were changed significantly through their contact with the West.
