New Book Announcement Summer 2010
Eric Anderson's, et al., Long awaited publication
In The Shape of Tradition: Indigenous Art of the Northern Philippines
This book is the first far-reaching comprehensive publication since 1890 to focus entirely on Northern Luzon indigenous art. Thanks to the helpful assistance of most knowledgeable contributors, the result of their extensive field work is now conveyed to hopefully instill further insight into Philippine art, history and culture facilitating a more profound understanding of a complex cultural remnant.
Dealing with the traditional cultures of the Isneg, Itneg, Kalinga, Gaddang, Bontoc, Kankanay, Ifugao, Ibaloy, Ilongot, and Negrito, the subject is treated in a broad sense, covering spectacular artistic achievements in order to establish an impression of range and a basis for comparison.
Important participating museums are: The National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden; Museo Nacional de Antropología, Madrid; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Seattle; Museum für Völkerkunde, Vienna; National Museum of the Philippines, Manilla; Museum für Völkerkunde Dresden; Musée du quai Branly, Paris and others.
Edited by Eric Moltzau Anderson
Contributing authors are: Otto van den Muijzenberg, Roberto Maramba, David Baradas, Henry Beyer and Ramon E.J. Silvestre.
