Reseña del editor:

Limited Edition. Text in French. Previously out of print and in great demand for well over half a century, this important reference work on the indigenous art of New Guinea illustrates examples of a wide variety of weapons, shields, masks, utensils, bowls, figures and other ethnographic material, from the collection of the author. Dr. Stephen Chauvet (1885 1950), a brilliant French physician and polymath, began his collection of African and Oceanic art, following the First World War, with the acquisition of several spectacular smaller collections formed by European adventurers and missionaries in the early decades of the twentieth century. Chauvet pursued not only objects but also understanding of these genres with characteristic passion, and was the author of a number of seminal works on the arts of Africa, Easter Island and Polynesia, of which Les Arts Indigènes en Nouvelle-Guinée was his masterwork.
