Asmat Art features the world-renowned woodcarvings of the Asmat, former head-hunters who live in the western half of New Guinea. Working with stone adzes, bone, and bits of shell, early carvers fashioned the local wood into stunning masterpieces. Editor Dirk Smidt has gathered together distinguished experts on Asmat art and culture to describe the physical and spiritual world of the Asmat, the techniques and motifs used by master carvers, and to present an historical overview of European collections of Asmat art.

Cloth, 4to, 32 cm, xxv, 512 pp, plates, ills. 172 entries. From the blurb - "This volume presents the books published in France from the Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection of illustrated books on Western European architectural design and theory. This extraordinary collection, housed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, provides a rare opportunity to explore the work and theories of four centuries of French architects and designers, as well as the fundamental treatises that influenced them. Included here are the volumes that served as the primary guides for centuries of French architects, such as Alberti's Libri de re aedificatoria, as well as the works of Serlio, translated into French. Other volumes, designed for public consumption, record the property and building activity of the royal families, and document the authority of the monarch. Early nineteenth-century sketchbooks of medieval architecture reveal the emergence and flowering of the Gothic Revival in France. The sketchhooks of such painters as Vien and Ponce bear witness to the discovery of the voyage pittoresque during the same century, and to a romance with Italy that began some three hundred years earlier. Each architectural book has been carefully descrihed and illustrated; a catalogue entry provides a full history of' each." Near Fine in dustwrapper with minor marks. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-65233
