Aspects of Primitive Art (1959) presents three lectures delivered at the Museum of Primitive Art in New York. Written by Robert Redfield, Melville J. Herskovits, and Gordon F. Ekholm, the volume explores different anthropological perspectives on the meaning, interpretation, and cultural significance of primitive art.

The essays address questions of symbolism, style, and value in non-Western art, while also linking primitive artistic traditions to archaeology and anthropology. This was the first volume in the Museum of Primitive Art’s Lecture Series and remains a significant contribution to the study of tribal and prehistoric art.

An uncommon academic and collectible volume, especially valuable for students and collectors of anthropology, art history, and ethnology.
