The Death of Authentic Primitive Art: And Other Tales of Progress Paperback - 1998
by Shelly Errington
Anthropologist Shelly Errington argues that Primitive Art, invented as a new type of art object at the beginning of the 20th century, has died. Errington's dissection of discourses about progress and primitivism is a lively introduction to anthropological studies of art institutions and a dramatic contribution to the growing field of cultural studies. 106 illustrations.
From the rear cover
"A witty study of those artfully fabricated objects that inhabit our museums--how people talk about them and how people talk with them. It is graceful, careful, profound, original, and sophisticated not only as cultural analysis but also as political history."--Hildred Geertz, Princeton University
"Errington's provocative book on the historic construction of "Primitive Art" is a "must read" for the growing numbers of scholars investigating issues of artistic authenticity, legitimacy, models of progress, and the market."--Suzanne Preston Blier, author of African Vodun: Art, Psychology, and Power
