Book Reviews of Splendid Isolation: Art of Easter Island
Book Review: Excellent photos and good overall info
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased a couple of wood figures (moai) from Easter Island recently, and then ordered this book in order to learn more about the artistic traditions of this remote island. This small folder presents the most important types of artifacts from Easter Island, and includes some brief but good information on its history and tribal traditions. All the designs, whether they be wood, stone, or barkcloth, are striking and unusual. Recommended for all readers interested in art from the Pacific Islands.
Summary of Splendid Isolation: Art of Easter Island
Easter Island is home to the Rapa Nui, a Polynesian people who developed a unique series of artistic traditions. This is an examination of the island's diverse artistic heritage. It presents and discusses over 50 works, ranging from robust stone images to refined wooden sculpture.Exhibition Catalogs Books
