Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe first comprehensive study of Hawaiian sculptural tradition, Hawaiian Sculpture documents most known extant indigenous carvings of the human figure and identifies their location in public and private collections. More than 164 illustrations illuminate the wooden sculpture of artists whose names are unknown but who were brilliant by any standard. The revised (1988) edition adds recently discovered pieces and a new introduction. The first edition discussed 147 pieces; the revised edition presents 17 previously uncatalogued works, making the volume a valuable addition to the field of Oceanic art.

A definitive description
In a field of study not commonly discussed and prone to inaccurate depiction, this revised study is seminal. The combination of emeritus Art and Anthropology researchers as authors results in clear and concise descriptions and conclusions. From materials to tools to ethnology, the authors assembled images and historical records from diverse collections to present a most complete account of a unique culture's workings. The images (with detailed descriptions), provide de facto insight to possible motivations for cultural identity. And a possible "jumping off point" for the next generation.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
