Aspects of Primitive Art - Robert Redfield - Bog

Aspects of Primitive Art is a book written by Robert Redfield that explores the characteristics and significance of art created by non-Western, indigenous cultures. The book delves into the cultural and social contexts in which this art is produced, examining the ways in which it reflects the values, beliefs, and practices of the societies that create it. Redfield argues that primitive art is not simply decorative or ornamental, but rather serves important functions within these societies, such as expressing religious beliefs, communicating social status, and reinforcing cultural identity. The book draws on examples from a range of cultures and traditions, including African, Native American, and Oceanic art, and includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help readers better understand the visual elements of this art. Overall, Aspects of Primitive Art offers a thought-provoking exploration of the rich and complex world of non-Western art and the cultures that produce it.Foreword By R.
