"In 1906, tribal sculpture was 'discovered' by 20th century artists; these objects had suddenly become relevant due to changes in the very nature of modern art. These two volumes constitute the first comprehensive scholarly treatment for a half a century of the crucial influence of tribal arts - particularly those of Africa and Oceania - on modern painters and sculptors.In this visually dazzling and intellectually provocative work, 19 essays address aesthetic, historical and sociological issues complexities posed by this dramatic chapter in the history of modern art. The main body of the book contains a series of essays on primitivism in the works of Gauguin, the Fauves, Picasso, Brancusi, the German Expressionists, Lipchitz, Modigliani, Klee, Giacometti, Moore, Surrealists and Abstract Expressionists, and concludes with a discussion of contemporary primitivist artists, including those involved in earthworks, shamanism and performance art. inspired by rituals.
