Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major publication on the art of the New Guinea Highlands, this extraordinary volume is destined to become the definitive resource on this little-known region. The Jolika Collection of New Guinea Art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco consists of hundreds of objects and represents hundreds of clans and villages throughout the island of New Guinea. This lavishly illustrated volume focuses on the Highlands—a region of rugged mountains, fertile valleys, and a civilization that dates back fifty thousand years. Here, in more than six hundred pages, are intricately crafted shields, masks, and headdresses, along with other remarkable ceremonial and personal objects—the majority of which have never before been published or exhibited. Historic and field photographs, maps of key locations, and authoritative essays by preeminent scholars covering a wide range of subjects, from prehistoric carvings to body adornment, make this book a collector’s dream.

Book excerpt: Asmat Art features the world renowned woodcarvings of the Asmat, former head-hunters who live in the western half of New Guinea This book presents a full range of Asmat woodcarving art, but emphasizes the rare early shields and figure sculptures. Drums, canoe prowheads and the larger, more dramatic "objects" are also shown. Together with bisj poles, war shields are perhaps the most famous creation of Asmat artists, and these were carved throughout the region. It is in the design and construction of the shields that the variations in style region can most clearly be seen. Figure sculptures, of varying styles, are also well represented here, and a limited number of the huge ceremonial carvings, such as bisj poles and basu suangkus, have also been included. The cultural context in which these items play their part is described in detail in the introductory chapters. But it is not the intention of this book to be an ethnography. The focus is on the art pieces themselves.

Download or read book Art of Northwest New Guinea written by Suzanne Greub and published by New York : Rizzoli. This book was released on 1992 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On a map, the island of New Guinea looks like a roughly drawn profile of a sitting bird, with its head, called the Vogelkop (from the Dutch for 'bird's head), reaching west into Indonesia and its tail stretching eastward into Melanesia", writes the eminent ethnologist Simon Kooijman, curator emeritus of the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde in Leiden, in his introductory note to this book. "Almost half the island, the part to the west of the 141st meridian, ... was under the sovereignty of the Netherlands until 1962 and is now a province of the republic of Indonesia under the name of Irian Jaya". So begins this extraordinary volume, which presents a dramatic overview of the art of Northwest New Guinea, or present-day Irian Jaya. Some 200 outstanding objects of ritual and daily use are illustrated to demonstrate the aesthetic sensibilities of the nonliterate peoples of this region. The objects, drawn primarily from Dutch collections, have been known to collectors and ethnologists since the nineteenth century. But it was particularly through the interest of the French Surrealists that the elegantly painted bark cloths and sculptural figures came to be viewed as part of the larger world of high art. This book brings together a compilation of essays by noted scholars in the fields of ethnology and art history, placing the works in context. Ethnologists Kooijman, Theodoor van Baaren, and Jac Hoogerbrugge, write from experience of the art in the style areas of Geelvink Bay, Humboldt Bay, and Lake Sentani, stressing its highly spiritual content. Art historian Elizabeth Cowling of the University of Edinburgh traces the influence of Oceanic art on the Surrealists, and French historian PhilippePeltier of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Orleans provides a charming biography of twentieth-century adventurer Jacques Viot, a French art dealer and film writer who, in the 1920s, traveled to Lake Sentani in search of objects to place on the Paris art market. And Christian Kaufmann of the Museum fur Volkerkunde in Basel provides an account of the Swiss explorer Paul Wirz, whose travels throughout his life (he died in New Guinea in 1955) bore fruit in some extraordinary acquisitions for the Basel collection. Finally, curators of two Dutch Museums, David van Duuren in Amsterdam and Dirk Smidt in Leiden, evoke an extraordinary sense of place as they tell how missionaries, civil servants, and explorers brought back to Holland a wide range of objects from New Guinea.
