Item description from seller

Pen name to the front cover. Some moderate foxing and curling to the corners. An illustrated educational guide to the traditional and contemporary arts of the Solomon Islands, created primarily for teachers in the Southwest Pacific. It uses photographs and drawings of objects and designs to explore carving, decoration, pattern and other forms of artistic expression, while placing them within their cultural setting. The book encourages teachers and students to recognise the continuing relationship between traditional Solomon Islands art and modern creative work rather than treating indigenous art simply as something from the past.
