Features: The instinct of primitive art is to pursue pure abstraction as the only possible way to find solace in the bewildered and uncertain world of all things. This book comprehensively introduces the development of European prehistoric art and the primitive arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. It analyzes the creative themes of ancient art from the cultural perspective of witchcraft and religion, and combines the tools and materials of drawing and engraving to examine the techniques and styles of primitive artworks.
