It covers the art of primitive peoples from Australia and New Zealand to the islands of the Pacific and Easter Island, discussing the art of various tribes in relation to their history and customs. It is particularly fascinating because the variety of peoples and of art forms is so great. For example, only in Australia does the modern investigator have an opportunity to see survivors of the Stone Age still at work. In the islands there is still a chance to preserve the arts of cultures that are fast disappearing as they come into contact withthe modern world. In order to understand the arts of these peoples, we must understand their religions, such as animism, totemism, polytheism; and we must understand the myths, magic and taboos by which they regulate their lives. THE ART OF THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS explains these religions and superstitions and discusses important differences between the languages and cultures of the Papuans, Tasmanians, Melanesians, Micronesians, Polynesians, Maoris, etc. It tells of the early migrations of the different races from Asia and describes the terrains in which they made their homes as well as the materials they worked with~ stone, wood, bark, fibers and the like. This book is divided into three sections. In the first, Dr. Alfred Buhler presents the Pacific area from New Guinea to Easter Island; then Terry Barrow treats the Maori of New Zealand, and Charles P. Mountford concludes the book with a chapter on the art of the primitive peoples of Australia.…
