A collection of 17 essays first presented at the Slade School of Art in London in 1985-1986. "This is the first book to address the major cultural implications of the complex and open-ended subject of 'the primitve' in art. It scrutinizes western concepts of primitivism, ''primitive' art itself, and the ways western artists have taken over primitivist imagery, ideas, and techniques." (back cover).
