Douglas Newton Masterpieces of Primitive Art: The Nelson A. Rockefeller collection. NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1978
Profusely illustrated with 254 full-color photographs made specially for this book by Lee Boltin.
The artistic achievements of the world's primitive societies have never been so fully revealed and superbly portrayed as in this volume. In Lee Boltin's magnificent colour photographs, pictures that are themselves works of art, we dis- cover the astonishing scope of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection - the finely wrought Mayan and Aztec artifacts that amazed the conquista- dors: mysterious masks fashioned forceremonial use; statues carved in stone and wood; brilliant textiles; ritual objects of gold, silver, bronze, jade, cloth, shells. Organized into four major categories-faces, human figures, animals and abstractions the book offers a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to primitive art.
