Living Art: Papua New Guinea

Lavishly illustrated and exceptionally researched, Dr. Susan Cochrane’s Living Art: Papua New Guinea brings alive the multiple contemporary realities of the country and its people. This full-color art book presents artworks and cultural performances that are astonishing for their dramatic visual effect and virtuosity. It is a highly visual experience of Papua New Guinea's spectacular cultures and aesthetic wealth in their own context. Culture, politics, history, and identity are interlinking themes through which the book presents ideas about artists, creative processes and aesthetics; revealing Papua New Guinea's diversity of cultures and environments.
