The British Museums uniquely important Melanesian collection is
pre-eminent among early collections, and the 20,000 items it
comprises are core to understanding the cultures of the western
Pacific. The extraordinary art styles represented, from groups such
as New Guinea, New Ireland and the Solomon Islands and relating to
ancestors, family and clan, houses, feasting and festivals, are of
interest not only in themselves but also for how they have
influenced European artists since the nineteenth century. With
contributions from a wide range of international scholars,
anthropologists, indigenous peoples and artists, and illustrated
with over 300 colour images of Museum objects and contextual
photographs, the book will survey and respond to the collection
from the point of view of anthropologists and the people
responsible for its creation. Melanesia is a visual and key
reference work, providing illuminating encounters with the
historical and contemporary cultures of the western Pacific,
documenting the most culturally diverse and artistically fertile
region in the world for the first time.
