What is Modern and primitive art (Phaidon 20th-century art) about?

The encounter with creations of primitive and tribal art at the beginning of the twentieth century had a profound significance for European and American artists. The plates provide telling and fascinating juxtapositions of works produced by exotic cultures, with paintings and sculptures by over thirty modern artists. The texts examines the rejuvenating influences of those remote artefacts upon the great masters of out time and enquires to what extent the obvious formal inspiration corresponded to kindred spiritual experiences.
