This wide-ranging collection of essays examines the arts of Southeast Asia in context. Contributors study the creation, use, and local significance of works of art, illuminating the many complex links between an object''s aesthetic qualities and its origins in a community.



Trade Review

Stanley J. O'Connor's concern and interest in making the art and cultures of Southeast Asia come alive to students in his classes... has clearly worked. His legacy is displayed in these essays.

* Asian Perspectives *

This collection provides a broad understanding of the topics that fascinate O'Connor: geographically, from Burma to the east coast of Malaysia, and historically, from prehistoric to contemporary painting. Despite this breadth, it displays a unity of approach that I would summarize as follows: art and its practice are the expression of human relations.
