The accidents of history have enabled a Stone Age culture to exist for a time side by side with modern Australian life, but its art forms, so wnderfully preserved and now enjoying a late flowering under the stimulus of interest from the outside world, must soon vanish with the beliefs and social organization from which they sprang. It is fortunate that a writer of Karel Kupka's imaginative sympathy and understanding has been able to record them for the benefit of the twentieth-century man. The author's approach is essentially that of an artist rather than of an anthropologist, but his conclusions are based on a sound knowledge of anthropological findings, as well as on that personal contact so vital to a real understanding of the Aborigines.\" - book jacket." }, { "value": "" }, { "value": "Survey of Arnhem Land art (body painting, bark painting, sculpture); relation of
