Author: Doris Byer and Christian Reder (eds)
These drawings from Melanesia and of South-East Asia were collected in the 1930' during field studies by the Viennese ethnologist Hugo Bernatzik. Here, Ethnologist Jacques Ivanoff situates the drawings within the scope of a long-time dynamic of ethnicity; anthropologist Manfred Fassler focuses on drawing as an inherent medium of mankind; and artist and philosopher Elisabeth von Samsonow analyses the relationship between the empty sheet as 'pure potentiality' and the 'choreographic nature of the line'.
ISBN 9783709107997. Springer Verlag. hb. 360 pages.
