Outstanding work!

If you feel any kinship with 20th century modern art, and are unaware of how deeply influential tribal artifacts have been, this two-volume set will be both a delight and a revelation. Suitable as an introduction to both, and useful for novices or connoisseurs. Should you discover an interest in tribal art as a result, and would like to view the remarkable aesthetic range available through dozens of ethnic groups, I suggest you visit this site(I have no affiliation): http://www.hamillgallery.com/index.html
