The Aesthetics of Primitive Art

The Aesthetics of Primitive Art is the first attempt to develop an aesthetics, or philosophy of art for ancient, ritual and ceremonial "art before art" -- going beyond the usual anthropological accounts to treat aesthetically, as works of fine art, artifacts from Africa, PreColumbian America, and Asia which were produced before or independently of the modern, Western sense of "art for art's sake." Twenty-eight illustrations.
