| Description: | The story of Samoan tattoo art and the work of Su'a Sulu'ape Paulo II When Tatau was first published in 2010, Mark Adams renowned images documenting a great Polynesian art tradition were a revelation. It told the story of the late Suluape Paulo II, the pre-eminent figure of modern Samoan tattooing. A brilliantly innovative and often controversial man, he saw tatau as an art of international importance. Tatau documented his practice, and that of other tufuga ta tatau (tattoo artists), in the contexts of Polynesian tattooing, Samoan migrant communities and New Zealand art. Long out-of-print, this revised and extended new edition, with its handsome large format and texts by distinguished scholars, makes a cultural treasure available once more. |
