Description
Authors

This book focuses on objects from the domestic to the sacred, from the elegantly simple to the sumptuously ornate, and from the historic to the contemporary. The author draws on striking and colourful examples from the Pacific’s major cultural regions: Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia, beginning with an introduction asking ‘What is Pacific art?’

Jennifer Newell was formerly a curator specializing in the Oceanic collections in the British Museum. She is currently a Fellow at the Centre for Historical Research, National Museum of Australia, Canberra.
