Not to be stupid, but, wouldn't have Melanesian art basically been part of "Poly pop" since the beginning? After all, Bali Hai is a Melanesian island..the inspiration anyway, and much WWII fighting was in Melanesia, so artifacts would have been brought home. I'm not even sure most American did (or do) even know the difference between Poly and Melanesia. |
