Oceanic Art

by Adrienne L. Kaeppler, Douglas Newton, Christian Kaufmann

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.
