Excerpt from Comparative Art
The fundamental idea underlying this monograph is to make an examination and comparison of the fine arts of as many races as possible, and of the resemblances and differences between these arts, to see whether any new light can thereby be shed on man and his history.
In other words, this is an attempt to look from an esthetic standpoint at what man has produced in the esthetic arts, and to see whether anything can be learnt about man therefrom, or to put it still differently, it is a study of art for the sake of science.
A comparison of the arts of the different races of men of to-day should throw; it would seem, some light on the esthetic and mental similarities and divergences between these races. And in the same way, a comparison of the arts of the races of the present with those of the arts of the races of the past should enable us, to a certain extent, to gauge the development of our early ancestors.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the fine arts of people from around the world, comparing and contrasting their styles to explore possible linkages between artistic expression and ancestral origins. The author believed that art could be a valuable tool for anthropologists and began his investigations with Japanese and Eskimo art, before including collections from across the planet. He describes how some cave art from the Pleistocine Era suggests intellectual pursuits among our early ancestors, despite their reliance on stone tools and nomadic lifestyle. The author argues that there is a direct link between art and evolution and that examining different styles will help us better understand where we came from. This is an intriguing look at the often-overlooked artistic talents of non-European cultures and an important tool for anthropologists seeking new methods of examining the common threads that bind humanity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
