Download or read book The Art of the Pacific Islands written by P. W. Gathercole and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éd.: In spite of the wealth it has to offer, the art of the Pacific Islands remains perhaps the least known of the world's art to the modern audience. Throughout this mass of islands there existed hundreds of cultures, many of them sustained by only a few hundred people. The cultures developed into richly disparate modes with elaborate social systems and highly refined systems of intellectual and religious life. Most striking of all, however, is that these cultures created an extraordinary range of art styles to express and serve their beliefs. The aim of the exhibition this catalog accompanied was to highlight objects that were made before or collected at the earliest contact by Westerners, and which therefore reflect the most pristine state of the cultures. Many of the works included had never before been published or exhibited.
