Tribal Art

Art is a Western concept that describes a medium of communication that transmits aesthetic qualities to the viewer. Tribal cultures of the world were generally without a similar concept because material objects were integrated into everyday life. Utilitarian objects of extraordinary beauty produced by tribal societies is art in its purest form, which offers a window into the lives, and traditions of cultures that are vanishing as western lifestyles are adopted.
