People of the Eland: Rock Paintings of the Drakensberg Bushmen as a Reflection of Their Life and Thought
ISBN: 9781868144976 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1976, People of the Eland was the first major step away from the outsiders view upon San rock art that had dominated studies of rock art for nearly a century. The book provides an account of the rock art of the Drakensberg Range and historical information on the mountain San themselves. The book aims to gain an insiders view of the rock art using San understandings of the world. While following this approach, it quickly became clear to Patricia Vinnicombe that the art was very far from simple depictions of daily life as had once seemed likely, but instead...

The Eland's People is thus intended as a companion volume to People of the Eland and it is hoped that this new volume will provide a richer appreciation of the importance of Patricia Vinnicombe's original...

His analysis distinguishes the romanticism of Gauguin; an emotional primitivism exemplified by the Brucke and Blaue Reiter groups in Germany; the intellectual primitivism of Picasso and Modigliani; and a "primitivism of the...
