尼古拉斯·托马斯权威著作《艺术世界》的这本更新版全面介绍了大洋洲艺术，并新增了关于当代艺术的章节。 

太平洋岛屿艺术绚丽的色彩和图案长期以来一直吸引着西方观众，其中包括保罗·高更和巴勃罗·毕加索等艺术家。在《大洋洲艺术》一书中，尼古拉斯·托马斯超越了人们熟悉的长矛、盾牌、雕刻的独木舟船首和羽毛披肩等精美表面，探寻艺术对太平洋岛民过去和现在的重要意义。

在第二版中，托马斯新增了关于全球化与当代艺术的章节，他阐述了各个地区如何以其独特的艺术形式和实践为特征——例如毛利人的祖先雕刻、所罗门群岛的交换与战争仪式、波利尼西亚妇女制作树皮布等等——同时又受到太平洋内外各种文化的影响。本书的插图生动地展现了艺术的活力与多样性，从唤起根深蒂固的传统习俗到探讨当代政治议题的作品，无不体现了这一点。

This updated edition of Nicholas Thomas’s authoritative World of Art volume is a comprehensive look at Oceanic art, and includes a new chapter on contemporary art. 

The dazzling colors and patterns of the art of the Pacific Islands have long entranced Western audiences, including artists such as Paul Gauguin and Pablo Picasso. In Oceanic Art, Nicholas Thomas looks beyond the familiar, stunning surfaces of spears and shields, carved canoe prows and feather capes to discover the significance of art, past and present, for the people of the Pacific.

In this second edition, which includes a new chapter on globalization and contemporary art, Thomas shows how each region is characterized by certain art forms and practices―among them Maori ancestral carvings, rituals of exchange and warfare in the Solomon Islands, the production of barkcloth by women in Polynesia―even as it is shaped by influences from within the Pacific and beyond. The dynamism and diversity of the art are reflected in the illustrations accompanying this revelatory text, from works that evoke the most deep-rooted customs to those that address contemporary political issues.
