"Man As Art" In Stunning Photographs
Hardback, 11.75" x 12.5", large-format book, 288 pages, hundreds of full-color, (often full-page ), photographs.

A fascinating book
It is an incredible book. When the book came to my hands, what most surprised me what its size and incredible pictures. But the reader can also enjoy a book of great anthropological value, with magnificent descriptions of the tribes in New Guinea. Definetely, it was really a worthy purchase.

This review is from: The Last Men: Journey Among the Tribes of New Guinea (Hardcover)
Hardback, 11.75" x 12.5", large-format book, 288 pages, hundreds of full-color, (often full-page ), photographs. Admitedly, this is not day-to-day life in New Guinea....this is fully adorned, fully committed, fully made-up for special occasions, pedal-to-the-metal New Guinea, and the effect is viusually stunning. This is quintessential MAN AS ART (See Also : Man as Art (A Studio Book) In my opinion, The Last Men is significantly superior in capturing the awesome majesty of New Guinea Ceremonies than the book actually entitled "New Guinea Ceremonies". New Guinea Ceremonies (Photography) Indigenous New Guineans are presented in their full body paint, with extremely striking colors and patterns representing their tribal identity. Chapters include "Papua Niugini", "Asaro" (Mudmen), "Omo Bugamo" (Skeleton Warriors), the "Sing-Sing of Enga", "Kutumb (Engagement Ceremony)and several others,and includes a section on Irian Jaya (West Papua).
