Art, Ethnography and the Life of Objects by Julia Kelly
This book is a scholarly and lively account of the interactions between art and ethnography in Paris in the pre-WW2 period, drawing upon a diverse range of primary and archival materials: non-western art, anthropological expeditions, museum displays and works by artists in Paris. -- .… broadens the discussion to include Marcel Mauss and Henri Hubert's brilliant 'General Theory of Magic'… There is also close focus on technique… Kelly undertakes close readings of western works ethnographically… She also builds a series of pointers to then-and-now thinking on art and social agency that could notably refresh contemporary discussion
