The Artist in Tribal Society (1961) presents the proceedings of a symposium organized by the Royal Anthropological Institute, exploring the role of artists and art in non-Western and traditional societies. Edited by Marian W. Smith, the volume brings together leading scholars who examine subjects such as Aboriginal art in Australia, Dutch New Guinea’s korwar style, Sicilian cart painting, and Native Northwest Coast artistic traditions.
The book situates artistic expression within its social, religious, and cultural frameworks, offering an early and influential cross-cultural perspective on anthropology and art history. A valuable resource for scholars, anthropologists, and collectors of ethnographic studies.
