Reviews

[Todd · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice survey of Maori art.

[Seanin Shearn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing, especially the contributions by Sir Hirini Moko Mead. A must read for those interested in the Maori Renaissance or in Maori Art in culture in general.

Mead the Man. Te hokinga mai ngā taonga e te iwi o whenua.

[Stephen Simpson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The text is in an awkward middle ground - too verbose for a typical "oh look at the pretty pictures" art-oriented book, but not nearly comprehensive enough for a real history of the subject. I also found the pictures to be pretty repetitive and not an especially thorough overview of Maori art and craft.
