Description: “The primitive arts of Africa, Oceania, and America are illustrated in this book by works selected from the comprehensive collection of Mr. and Ms. de Menil, recently exhibited at The Museum of Primitive Art. Robert Goldwater says in his preface that ‘the collection’s formulating concept . . . is in the unexpectedly revealed unity, and constancy, of mankind’s chasing esthetic vision, an attitude and a demonstration . . . inherent in the works themselves.’ These hitherto unpublished masterpieces both illuminate and add to our conceptions of the primitive artists’ abilities and range of achievement.”
