A propos de cet article

xii, [2], 153, [1] pages. Decorative front cover. Footnotes. Some ink underlining and marks noted. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads For Sheila Smith & to her future in anthropology. Sincerely Alexander Alland, Jr. Fall 77.

In The Artistic Animal a renowned anthropologist looks at controversial questions[such as subway graffiti] from an evolutionary point of view. He concludes that there are certain fundamentals of art which are the same for children and adults, early and modern man, Asians and Americans.
