I always reference traditional pieces for my own paintings. Ive received as gifts recently a couple of books on Oceanic Art that have images Ive not seen before. One is caled Oceanic Art, published in Italy in 1966 by Fratelli Fabbri, Milan The other is a exhibit book from the Metropolitan Museum of Art 1969 Theres one more I found thrifting but I will have to dig for it. I do like the big color plates of artifacts, very inspirational. Nothing beats great reference materials!
