Body Objects--A continuing tradition
The origins of art are buried in the the remote past; however, the earliest records of man's aesthetic impulse are to be found in cave paintings, decorated tools, and ritualistic objects for the decoration of the body. This compulsion for self-embellishment by object ornamentation persists to our time.
We have assembled a group of African, Pre-Columbian, and American Indian objects to help frame the past and as a continuing tradition, we have juxtaposed them with jewels by Picasso, Nevelson, Bury, Youngerman, Arp, Trova, Bill, Man Ray, Pomadoro, Fontana, Indiana and Marisol.
