Summary

"The Western eye continues to be captivated by the powerful message of the African statue, the mystery of the carvings of Oceania, and the implicit aggression of the Toraya statue." "The book presents the best examples of these arts (mostly from the prestigious Barbier-Muller collection in Switzerland), and is an invitation to discover their beauty in all its forms, whether in a Nok head from Nigeria, a Batak horseman from northern Sumatra, or a drum from New Guinea."--BOOK JACKET.
