Summary: "Evolution in Art: As Illustrated by the Life-histories of Designs" by Alfred C. Haddon is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the development of decorative art from a biological perspective, focusing particularly on the art of indigenous cultures, such as those found in British New Guinea. Haddon aims to study the individuality and life-histories of artistic designs, emphasizing that these designs evolve similarly to biological organisms through various stages of origin, growth, and decline. The opening of Haddon’s work presents a comprehensive introduction to his methodology and the foundational concepts guiding his study of art. He expresses gratitude to the various individuals and institutions that assisted him in compiling the data necessary for his research. Focusing on the artistic traditions of 'savage peoples', he outlines his intention to investigate the elements of decorative arts without being confined to aesthetic judgments. Haddon emphasizes that understanding the evolution of art requires examining simpler, less sophisticated forms of expression first, as he sets the stage to delve into the specific decorative art traditions of regions like British New Guinea. This thoughtful, analytical approach provides readers with insight into the intrinsic connections between art and the cultural contexts from which it arises.
