Pacific Cultures : Golden gate international exposition

Abstract

Historians of art and the general public as well will find it forcibly brought home to them that here at last is an art-show where factual information on artists names and dates can be of no possible service. Half way across the Pacific island cultures that have been called pathetically simple, make sculptured wood images as well contrived to symbolize the lofty things of the spirit that our most successful copying of flesh dwindles into simplicity indeed.
