  • Other Name

    Past and present in Niuean barkcloth (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "This book is an inspired, experimental and personal encounter with a brilliant but neglected art form, the painted hiapo of Niue island in central Polynesia. [...]

    The authors have worked on this project for a decade, visiting museums in North America, the Pacific, and throughout Europe. They have travelled to Niue to glean information from old people, and talked to many others about the past and present significances of these works of art."--book jacket.
