| Abstract: | What follows is concerned with the present, not the past it is not an account of Tarxien temples nor of prehistoric potsherds. That is prehistoric art and is the province of the archaeologist, not the folklorist. It seems advisable, at this juncture, to make a further distinction, between primitive art and folk-art. The former has its bases in savagery and is the product of an incomplete body of technical skill. Folk-art is the product of an advanced civilization and of a high degree of technical skill that shows a mastery of the art-forms used. |
