not just another pretty art book

ones sees tons of these kinds of books at barnes and chernobyl, borders etc...but this one IS unique...first the reproduction quality (at least my edition) is excelent...the b & w drawings are on a more off-white background. the essay is very centered on the more PRIMAL elements of guaguin's mission. very good analysis of the IDOL (TIKI) and how it replaces GOD for gauguin. perhaps a good model for us all. yes, set up your shrine now in your own way and sweat off the accretions of western theology...now
