Book Reviews of Dreamings: The Art of Aboriginal Australia
Book Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
The book was mostly print with small dull pictures. Only one was of the fabulous rock painting (and they left a colored measure stick in the frame). They mostly showed photographs of things in museum collections and sketches and drawings done by observers of the natives. I kept feeling a sense of condescension toward the culture and art work of these peoples. They left out the colorful, exciting dream cave paintings which I've seen elsewhere and wanted to see more of.
