A propos de cet article

1st Printing. 472 pages. Published in 1992. Massive Monograph on subject. One of the greatest books on the art and achievement of Indonesian indigenous culture ever published in the late-20th century. The Revised And Expanded Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The Revised And Expanded Edition is now rare. Presents Bernard Sellato's "Hornbill And Dragon: Arts And Culture of Borneo" in its definitive edition. The great works of art of Kalimantan, Sarawak, Sabah, and Brunei. Meticulously researched Introductory Essays by the author, who spent seven years in the region. Borneo art, specifically the Batak, ranks with the greatest indigenous art, comparable in its feral power, subtle beauty, and exquisite craftsmanship with, for example, the universally recognized indigenous art of Africa. Once upon a time, these masterpieces were seen as "artifacts". That they are. But at the same time, they were always more than that: Ethnic art = Great art. Tribal art = Global art. An absolute "must-have" title for collectors of the ethnic/indigenous art of Asia. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Revised And Expanded Edition/First Printing still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws ("Good", "Very Good") yet are priced as though they had collectible value. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 450 color plates, 110 ink drawings. One of the greatest artistic traditions of all time. A fine collectible copy.
