Ancestors of the Lake is a stunning look at the region's distinctive art, such as its highly stylized wooden sculptures and decoratively and abstractly designed barkcloths. This beautifully illustrated volume brings together many of these important historic pieces for the first time, including the landmark collection of French writer and art dealer Jacques Viot, along with photographs by Paul Wirz. The book also explores how European Surrealist artists found inspiration in the art of New Guinea, highlighted by rarely seen photographs by Man Ray of Sentani sculpture. / Virginia-Lee Webb is an art historian and retired Research Curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Acknowledgments, by Josef Helfenstein; Serendipitous beginnings: Maro and Othello in the Menil Collection, by Kristina Van Dyke; Introduction, by Virginia Lee-Webb; Lake Sentani art: connecting ancestors and descendants, chiefs and community, by Dirk Schmidt; Exploring the Lake: Sentani art in Dutch collections, by David van Duuren; It was like Paradise: Paul Wirz at Lake Sentani and Humboldt Bay, by Andrea E.
