artistic impact of primitive art on the art of modern Europe. --

This book is admirably thorough. Professor Goldwater's approach to
the problems involved remains consistently historical, analytical
and descriptive...The investigation...is of lively interest and
real importance. -- Edward Alden Jewell "New York Times Book
Review"
A profound critical analysis...After [his] impressive, objective

A profound critical analysis...After Ýhis¨ impressive, objective
study, Dr. Goldwater is in a position to define primitivism and

A valuable contribution to contemporary art criticism.
Goldwater's study, first published in 1938, has become a classic in
the field of art history. His descriptions of how and why modern
painters and sculptors were attracted to primitive art are
essential to understanding artists from Paul Gauguin to Paul Klee.
