The World of Tattoo. An Illustrated History.
VAN DINTER, MAARTEN HESSELT. Stock ID: 101781 Colour photographic and line illustrations, 304pp, bibliography, index, large quarto. "Despite a growing fascination with tattooing among social scientists - and the popularity of tattoos themselves in general - the practice of tattooing still lacks a comprehensive historical record. Until very recently, there was no good context for writing a serious world history of tattooing. The present volume for the first time manages to convey the richness of the history of tattooing from antiquity to the present day. Unlike most other tattoo books The World of Tattoo does not describe one aspect but rather aims to convey the overall picture. Each of the 7 continents is described in terms of tattoo history and tattoo practices. Thus the book provides the reader with a truly global view of tattooing. It adds new information and new examples and insights which help the reader to gain a new perspective. By combining empirical history, powerful cultural analysis, and a highly readable style, the author adds an important step to the ongoing effort of writing a meaningful cultural history of tattooing. He does not draw new conclusions or present shocking new theories, but suggests and invites the reader to form his own opinions. This publication presents the reader with an almost overwhelming amount of textual and visual information. From the well known examples from Tahiti to rarely seen Chinese tattoos; they are all there. Many of the approximately 400 colour illustrations are unique images that have never been published before. Maarten Hesselt van Dinther is a cultural anthropologist and one of the leading Dutch experts on tattoos. His research for this book took over 10 years." Publisher's description. Also includes line drawings of tattoo designs. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 101781) ... more |

Revolutionary Century. Art in Asia 1900-2000.
CARROLL, ALISON. Stock ID: 132528 Maps, colour photographic illustrations, 207 pages, index, bibliography, dustjacket. This book, with nearly 200 colour plates, aims to introduce the major themes and practices of art in Asia over the years 1900-2000. While national art histories have been written, there has not been an overview across the whole region - exposing the major themes that affected the art of individual countries within the whole geographic context. It was a century of change, and the focus is on the developments in art and art practice, particularly those adapted from outside. Beginning with a broad overview of the nature of art in Asia in the twentieth century, it is followed by a cross-region study divided into four parts: the setting leading in from the 19th century, the decades 1900-1940 followed by the period between World War II and 1960, and finally the years from 1960-2000. The major geo-political groupings of the region are discussed within each time-period. This has not been easy give that over this century, borders have changed and countries have been renamed. But Alison Carroll, with her many years of experience and travel throughout the region as Director of Asialink's Arts Program, is in an excellent position to provide this long-awaited study.
