Oceania is made up of thousands of islands, from the vast territory of New Guinea to a myriad of tiny coral atolls, and its indigenous peoples have developed civilizations of enormous variety. In most of these societies, art holds a crucial position in both social and religious life, and includes not only architecture, painting and sculpture, but also music, dance, prayer and body decoration. This survey of the arts of these Pacific islands brings together a great number of important discoveries and the results of several detailed studies of Oceanic arts. It also provides general readers with an introduction through a series of texts and 900 illustrations, and a documentary section on the principal cultural groups of the region.
