520 _aThe concept of art as being purely for aesthetic contemplation, one that is typical of industrial civilization, is not a very useful one for cross-cultural studies. The majority of the art forms that we see in museums and art books that have come from Native America, Africa, or Oceania are objects that were once part of a larger artistic whole from which they have been extracted. We need to try to piece together and imagine the artistic context as well as the cultural one if we are to attain a deeper sense of the import than a particular piece alone provides. Even then, it is almost impossible to define the artistic whole. Perhaps we would do better to regard these pieces as fragments from the lifestyle of a people. This book applies anthropological theory and information to the study of art, bringing a sharper perspective to the discipline.
