Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of tattooing in the Marquesas Islands during the early 20th century, a time when this ancient art form was facing decline due to legal restrictions. The author, who lived among the Marquesan people in 1921, meticulously documented tattooing patterns and gathered invaluable insights from the last generation of tattooed individuals and practitioners. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the book explores the cultural significance of tattooing, its role in social hierarchy, and the elaborate rituals associated with the practice. It delves into the tools, techniques, and pigments used by the Marquesan tattoo artists, known as tuhuna, and sheds light on the symbolism and evolution of the diverse designs adorning the bodies of both men and women. The book contrasts the distinct tattooing styles of the northwestern and southeastern Marquesas Islands, revealing fascinating differences in patterns, aesthetics, and cultural influences. It explores the interplay between tattooing and other art forms, such as woodcarving and adzing, highlighting the shared motifs and techniques that contribute to the unique artistic heritage of the Marquesas. By offering a glimpse into a vanishing tradition, this book provides a profound understanding of the cultural significance and artistic brilliance of Marquesan tattooing, preserving its legacy for generations to come. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
