Analyzing the different modes of appearance and application of the most ubiquitous medium in art and ritual, this book examines the aesthetics, anthropology, ethnography and history of paint.

Examines various approaches to art as ritual, as a form of diagrammatic writing, as a symptom of a cultural moment, as a commodity, and as an agent of change. This book explores what art, in its broadest sense from Aboriginal work to the Western art market, from the role of museums to media interactivity, means today.
