The examination of Gauguin, Matisse, et al. exposes the Primitivism as, not a true account of "primitive" cultures, but a European interpretation of ideal "native" cultures through the distorted lens of "evolutionary anthropology," a rather condescending view of South Pacific, Asian, and African cultures with their accompanying distortions of form, which effectively dehumanize the subjects.

The roundtable discussion at the end of the book is somewhere between an academic Four Yorkshiremen sketch and the politico-intellectual palavering of the Holy Grails repressed peasants. So tiresome . . .

The year is now 1992. I was in college at that time, studying math and physics then. The next year, I did a complete turnaround and changed to working on my Bachelor's in Humanities (History Emphasis) and a minor in Anthropology. Ironically, from 1993 until 2000, I had a keen interest and a fair amount of formal study regarding art. Ironically, it was all art of the past, so I probably missed everything here.
