      abstract = {From the remote shores of Rapa Nui to the dense rainforest  of Papua New Guinea, the islands of the Pacific are home to  some of the most culturally diverse populations on the  planet. The region embraces an extraordinary range of art  forms, from delicate shell ornaments to spectacularly  decorated canoes and meeting houses. These have fascinated  outsiders since the exploratory voyages of Captain Cook,  the first of which commenced 250 years ago in 1768, and  went on to entrance Gauguin and a host of other European  artists. This volume accompanies a major survey in London  and Paris of art from Oceania. It brings together the most  up-to-date scholarship by the leading experts in the field,  encompassing a dazzling array of objects from the region,  including many that have never been published before. Also  included are many works that have historically been  overlooked, such as painted and woven textiles, elaborate  wicker assemblages and expressively sculpted vessels,  alongside works by artists working in Oceania today.  Objects of great aesthetic beauty, these artworks are the  product of a complex web of social, mythological and  historical influences.
