| Publisher Description: Hawaiian Art is folk art, interpreting its uniquely Hawaiian symbols we gain insight into their significance and meaning. Confusion exists in the tribal arts, because of the universality of the graphic elements and symbols used to decorate their implements and artifacts. Ethnographer Franz Boas noted, "The provenance of an art object can be determined purely on the basis of (its) style". |
