A propos de cet article

Middlesex. 1949. Pelican/Penguin Books. Revised and Enlarged Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 271 pages. paperback. A67. keywords: Art Archaeology. DESCRIPTION - This reprint, revised and enlarged, of a work specially written for Pelican Books, describes the various forms which the artistic impulse has taken among primitive peoples from the Stone Age men who roamed the' plains of Europe twenty thousand years ago, to the modern Negro inventing new ways of carving the human figure among the forests of the Ivory Coast. Even in the short time since this book was first published, in 1940, many new archaeological discoveries have been made in this field, and they are all incorporated in the revised edition. One of the most interesting chapters of the book discusses the effect upon the primitive artist of exposure to the 'civilized' conventions of art. What is the point, asks the author, of teaching aborigines in Central Australia to paint water-colours in the European style? Would it not be better to preserve and develop among them the expression of a genuine primitive art? This fascinating volume is illustrated by many pages of plates and numerous line-drawings in the text. Of the first edition of this Pelican The Times Educational Supplement wrote: 'One can only rejoice over the appearance of a book introductory to first causes in art. and particularly where it is one which. gives a wide survey of the subject in terms which are enlightened and convincing. The defining of primitive art is admirable throughout, and should go far towards dispelling the prevailing idea of cruelty and the substituting of the idea of inspired simplicity.' inventory #48171.…
