A Wealth of Thought: Franz Boas on Native American Art
ISBN: 9780295973845 / Angielski / Miękka / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although Franz Boas--one of the most influential anthropologists of the twentieth century--is best known for his voluminous writings on cultural, physical, and linguistic anthropology, he is also recognized for breaking new ground in the study of so-called primitive art. His writings on art have major historical value because they embody a profound change in art history. Nineteenth-century scholars assumed that all art lay on a continuum from primitive to advanced: artworks of all nonliterate peoples were therefore examples of early stages of development. But Boas's case studies from... Although Franz Boas--one of the most influential anthropologists of the twentieth century--is best known for his voluminous writings on cultural, p... |

The book's nineteen contributors write from many perspectives, breaking down boundaries between art history and anthropology, between...
