Description

Älthough this booklet purports to be an "outline of Maori art", it does not by any means cover all forms of Maori expression. Neglecting legend and chant, dancing, plaited textiles and painted scrolls, it limits itself to the art of wood-carving... I have previously written on Maori Carving Patterns discussing their place of origin and relationship - an ethnographical matter; here I invite you to consider Maori wood-carving as art." - introduction.
